BioScent K9 is a Myakka City, Florida nonprofit organization founded by Heather Junqueira. The organization utilizes the power of canine scent detection to develop non-invasive ways of screening for life-threatening diseases.
Heather's background is in breeding and genetics. She began researching cancer and came across a California program where researchers were working with dogs to detect breast and lung cancer by sniffing human breath condensation or saliva. The research showed the dogs detecting cancer at early stages.
Currently Heather and her dogs are working on a research study to see if dogs can be trained to detect COVD 19.
