Professor Coon develops and applies chemical instrumentation to measure proteins and metabolites in biological systems – including humans. His latest project is to embed such technology into a toilet to make real-time measurements of urine for preventative medicine.

Talks:

• Smart-Toilets to Revolutionize Human Health

  Will describe how new technology being developed here at UW-Madison has the potential to transform medicine. The device will measure hundreds of compounds from urine in real-time and can be embedded into toilets at home.
