About PetrifiedBugs

PetrifiedBugs is your go-to source for educational content and citizen science engagement in the development of infectious disease diagnostics. We specialize in in vitro diagnostics (IVDs) and empower learners, innovators, and advocates to contribute meaningfully to the ever-evolving infectious disease landscape.

 

Our mission is to demystify the complex world of diagnostics and provide real-world, practical insights. Through high-quality educational resources and tailored consulting services, we support researchers, diagnostic developers, laboratorians, and healthcare providers in navigating this critical field.

 

At the heart of our work is a citizen science approach to driving diagnostic innovation. Whether you're interested in volunteering, advocacy, or collaboration, our Citizen Science section offers pathways to get involved and make an impact.

 

Current projects are inspired by founder Arryn Craney, PhD D(ABMM), whose passion lies in bridging the gap between diagnostic challenges and innovative solutions. If you're ready to help shape the future of infectious disease testing, visit our Projects page to join a volunteer group or advocacy panel.
