Researchers develop microchips that detect and diagnose diseases
Professor Elisa Riedo and Associate Professor Davood Shahrjerdi have developed advanced microchips for disease detection using field-effect transistors. "This advanced approach enables faster results, testing for multiple diseases simultaneously, and immediate data transmission to healthcare providers," says Shahrjerdi. "Our technology will allow microchips to revolutionize healthcare," adds Riedo. Their chips detected SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins and distinguished between virus types, showing promise for portable diagnostics.
