Research
The technology was invented at George Washington University and UC Riverside, sponsored in part by an NSF rapid-response grant, and published in Environmental Science & Technology. This page points to that record: the publication, the laboratories, and the scientists. We link the paper rather than summarize its findings.

Ongoing program
The university laboratories that produced the peer-reviewed record are now executing the antiviral performance testing that supports Aclara's planned FDA 510(k) submission: live-virus testing under the direction of Prof. Mores and Jonathan Bashor in GWU's high-containment facilities. The regulatory program and its evidence base are described in IP & Regulatory.
Prof. Shuai's laboratory in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, where the photoreactive nanofiber technology was invented and developed.
Prof. Mores's high-containment (BSL-3) virology laboratory; antiviral performance testing for the regulatory program.
Prof. Yun Shen's home department at the time of the invention; early-stage development of the photoreactive nanofiber system.
