Applied Biotechnology and Biosensor Laboratory
Home Research Publications People Facilities	Our research mission is to develop novel, low cost, biotechnologies for point-of-care diagnostics and personalized medicine, and biosensors for monitoring biological and physiological phenomena. Many projects utilize thermoelectric methods to detect small temperature changes that are associated with molecular events as a primary detection method. Current projects include: · Development of a novel thermoelectric method for sequencing DNA for mutation detection · Development of a novel thermoelectric DNA probe for pathogen detection · Development of a novel, microfluidic L-Glutamate sensor for detecting L-Glutamate release from brain cells · Development of an implantable, thermoelectric peritoneal glucose sensor · Development of an osmotic sensor for the detection of glucose
