Researchers' Biosensor Project Gets $1.6M

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
SANTA CRUZ, Calif., April 5, 2006 -- Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, (UCSC) have received $1.6 million from the National Institutes of Health to fund a four-year program to develop the first biosensor that provides both electrical and optical characteristics of single molecules. The researchers say the integrated optic device they create could be used for highly sensitive medical diagnostics and for molecular biology research. UCSC said the project builds on earlier advances by its researchers in optical and electrical sensing technologies and involves collaboration...Read full article
