Tulane University attempting to develop 'Ebola pin-prick test'

Being from New Orleans, I am keenly aware of Tulane University's outstanding reputation for research and contributions to the medical field. Once again and in true Green Wave fashion, doctors at the school are attempting to "develop a rapid diagnostic test that would give health care workers a fast and easy way to test patients for Ebola with a simple finger-stick." Needless to say the implications for early and safe detection of the disease should be fairly obvious.
