【タイトル】
Biosensors - Working at the Intersection of Engineering and the Sciences
【アブストラクト】
Biosensors are increasingly used in
environmental applications, especially for water quality monitoring.
This
is because the availability of safe drinking water is fundamental to our good
health.
However,
as water resources get increasingly stressed, ensuring a safe water supply and
effective
water treatment becomes increasingly important. In addition, waterborne
illnesses are a significant public health problem.
At the
same time, current monitoring of microbiological contamination of water
currently is time-consuming, laboratory based,
and
frequently compromises the timeliness of health advisory warnings even when
contamination is found.
Therefore,
rapid detection of unsafe water can contribute greatly to mitigating the
morbidity and mortality
associated
with waterborne diseases due to microbiological contaminants.
Fortunately,
the research community has shown increasing interest in the development of
microtechnology
-based
sensors for the detection and identification of the bio-contaminants.
These
sensing systems use the same fabrication technology that has enabled the
drastic lowering of cost,
exponential
increase in complexity of electronic chips and widespread availability of
computing resources.
In
this presentation, we discuss a low-cost, electrical, label-free
microfabricated biosensor
that
we are developing for pathogen detection related to water quality and also for
ubiquitous-healthcare applications.
The
use of nanodimensions devices to create futuristic nano-biosensors for both
environmental and health applications will be introduced.
And we
will also describe our ongoing work to create highly integrated and parallel
detection systems by integrating the sensor,
the
processing electronics and the pre-processing stages on the same cheap
substrate.
Finally,
the success of such a low-cost, highly integrated sensing system demands a
convergence of expertise from various engineering disciplines,
the
physical and life sciences as well as public health.
