Collaboration to develop biosensors

  •  

Scientists at the University of Ulster are using nanotechnology – highly miniaturised technology – to build new DNA biosensors that could be used to identify genetic diseases and dangerous microorganisms, and in cancer research and forensic science.

Dr Patrick Lemoine and Dr Tony Byrne from the School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering have teamed up with French biosensor expert Professor Pascal Mailley from the CEA Grenoble research facility.

The collaboration has been facilitated by a research grant from the Royal Society.
