Molecular Sensors
The center develops wearable, implantable, and static sensor systems for healthcare and homeland security. Combining BEI-produced microfluidics technologies, molecular sensor research, new biomaterials, wireless communications technology, and implantable radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, center researchers create devices that can remotely monitor systems and communicate information on a wide variety of important physiological analytes or on materials associated with biological and chemical weapons.
Also under development are implantable sensors that will help prosthetic limbs and organs operate properly and make possible combined (closed loop) diagnostic/therapeutic devices.
