During the same semester, while working on analyzing COVID-19 RNA samples, we also undertook a project in another class. The project involved simulating the interaction between two magnets and a blood cell in Matlab. The objective was to investigate if the blood cell, when contaminated with malaria, would exhibit changes in its internal charges and consequently be attracted towards either the positive or negative magnet.

The simulation was successful, as we observed that the blood cell indeed adhered to one of the magnets after passing through them, indicating the alteration of its internal charges. This technology holds the advantage of being cost-effective and easily producible, making it suitable for implementation in developing countries.
