Biosensors and bioinstrumentation diagnostics for the future

Our biosensing and bio instrumentation faculty is dedicated to advancing research diagnostics for human and environmental health monitoring. By leveraging recent advances in biochemistry, electronics, omics (genomics, epigenetics, proteomics), and physiology, they develop innovative microelectromechanical systems for enhanced neural signal recording, efficient drug delivery, and real-time interaction with biological systems.
