Guilford’s U-Smell-It wins award for COVID test

A Guilford biotech firm was named one of the winners in a $6 million global competition to develop better ways to test for COVID-19.

U-Smell-It was cited as a firm “whose approaches demonstrated high potential for impactful screening solutions.”

“This award is an honor,” said Dr. Derek Toomre, Yale University School of Medicine professor and founder of U-Smell-It. “But the real honor will come when this test helps keep people healthy, helps keep schools open, and enables economies to thrive.”
