Development of translational diagnostics tools, including: (i) molecular diagnostics on paper, and (ii) olfactory sensing for early cancer detection. The goal of this work is to develop useful point-of-care devices that are translated from the bench-top into the hands of the user.
Molecular diagnostics on paper. We are developing a completely on-board assay - from sample to results. In this work, paper is used as a microfluidic platform, where reagents are stored and the device provides a basis for multiplexed detection of nucleic acids. The detection is made to be low-cost, simple-to-use and easy-to-read, non-invasive, fieldable, and fully disposable.
Olfactory sensing. We are detecting volatile organic compounds (VOC’s), specific to cancer cells. Through the determination of these biomarkers, we aim to develop an external sensor for the point-of-care, non-invasive detection of cancer.
