About
Dr. Antoni E. Bordoy is a clinical microbiologist and researcher whose work has been pivotal in refining diagnostic strategies for infectious diseases, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. His primary research areas include respiratory virus detection, molecular diagnostics, and the optimization of non-invasive specimen collection methods. Dr. Bordoy’s most notable contribution is his landmark study comparing self-collected mid-nasal swabs and saliva specimens to traditional nasopharyngeal swabs for SARS-CoV-2 detection in mild COVID-19 patients. This work, which has garnered 13 citations, demonstrated that patient-collected samples offer a reliable, less invasive, and more scalable alternative for testing, directly influencing public health guidelines and enabling broader community surveillance. By validating these accessible collection techniques, Dr. Bordoy has helped reduce healthcare worker exposure and expand testing capacity during critical phases of the pandemic. His research underscores a commitment to practical, patient-centered solutions that bridge clinical accuracy with real-world feasibility, making him a key figure in advancing diagnostic accessibility for emerging viral threats.
