NanoMedicine & MicoMedicine: Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University

2008-12-10T22:20:53.002Z

Nanoscale engineering can be a powerful tool for improving public health and quality of life. Working at the nanoscale with organic and inorganic materials (i.e., from DNA strands to gold nanowires), the Biodesign Institute's applications include improved diagnostic devices, medical implants such as continuous glucose monitoring for diabetics and improved solar power.
Panelists include: George Poste, DVM, Ph.D., Director, the Biodesign Institute; Subhash Mahajan, Ph.D., Director, School of Materials, Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering; David Guston, Ph.D., Director, Center for Nanotech in Society.
Guest interviews include: Joseph Wang, D.Sc. Director, Bioelectronics and Biosensors, the Biodesign Institute; Stuart Lindsay, Ph.D., Director, Single Molecule Biophysics.

NanoMedicine & MicroMedicine: BioSensors Monitoring Diabetes Without Pain and Blood

Monitoring Diabetes Without Pain and Blood: Biosensors Offer New Alternatives

CNDLS documents research by Georgetown College prof in a short video.

Prof. Mak Paranjape says "much thinking takes place with my students."

A daily regimen of pricked fingers and blood tests is an essential part of life for someone living with diabetes.

Monitoring blood glucose levels can be tiresome, even with today's improved monitoring devices. Drs. Mak Paranjape and John Currie, researchers in the Georgetown Advanced Electronics Laboratory (GAEL), are working to take the process to a whole new level.

For the past few years, the team has been developing and testing a new biosensor device for blood glucose monitoring. The size of a small bandaid, it is designed to be worn anywhere on the body, where the biosensor samples tiny amounts of fluids that lie just beneath the skin. The device is small and convenient, and makes measuring glucose levels pain-free and noninvasive.

NanoMedicine & MicroMedicine: Micro & nanotechnologies are revolutionising medicine (EU)

2008-09-14T03:14:10.044Z

Micro and nanotechnologies are revolutionising medicine
'Almost invisible' tools are being developed by European researchers to discover diseases earlier and to treat patients better. The miniaturisation of instruments to micro and nano dimensions promises to make our future lives safer and cleaner. A team of European researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Biomedical Technologies Institute near Saarbruecken is using nanotechnology to improve diagnostic capabilities. In the "Adonis"-project, nano-sized gold particles are used to detect prostate cancer cells at an early stage.
