Inventor of color-changing sutures.

Who is  Dasia Taylor ?

At just 17 years old, Dasia Taylor became a nationally recognized scientist by creating color changing sutures that detect infection. Dasia’s invention was centered around equity — her main career focus — and making this life-saving medical technology accessible to everyone.


Her invention uses beets, which change color at different pH levels, as a natural indicator of infection. When beets detect acidity changes in skin, the sutures change from bright red to dark purple. This color change serves as early detection of an infection. Dasia came up with this idea after learning about smart sutures that use technology to detect wound changes and sync to a doctor’s computer or smartphone. Knowing that this expensive technology would not be accessible to people in developing countries – where infection from surgical wounds is comparatively higher — Dasia set out to create a more cost-effective solution.
