TRLUP-Developing kits for self-monitoring of steroid hormone at home (Estrogens, Androgens, and Glucocorticoids)

Our project is focused on developing portable biosensors that let anyone measure steroid hormones—like androgens, estrogens, and glucocorticoids—without needing to send samples to a lab. These tools were first designed to help monitor wildlife health, especially for caribou populations important to Indigenous communities, but they also have huge potential for human health. As scientists, we’re focused on the research and development side, but we need partners who can handle the business aspects—commercialization, intellectual property, and market strategy. By building strong partnerships and clearly defining our roles, we can bring this technology to market in a way that benefits both public health and supports our ongoing work with Indigenous partners, ensuring they have lasting access to these tools.
