New UC San Diego Biosensor Will Guard Water Supplies from Toxic Threats

Supported by a $953,958 grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), researchers at the University of California San Diego will develop a sophisticated new biosensor that can protect the nation’s water supplies from a wide range of toxins, including heavy metals and other poisons.

Researchers Engineer Bacteria That Can Detect Tumor DNA

Creating new technologically advanced sensors, scientists from UC San Diego and Australia have engineered bacteria that detect the presence of tumor DNA in live organisms. Their innovation could pave the way to new biosensors capable of identifying various infections, cancers and other diseases.

Optical Biosensor Rapidly Detects Monkeypox Virus

Researchers at UC San Diego and their colleagues have developed an optical biosensor that detects the virus that causes mpox. The technology could make diagnosis much faster and cost-effective as the disease continues to spread worldwide.

This Wireless, Handheld, Non-invasive Device Detects Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Biomarkers

An international team of researchers has developed a handheld, non-invasive device that can detect biomarkers for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Diseases. The biosensor can also transmit the results wirelessly to a laptop or smartphone.

Qualcomm Institute’s CARI Therapeutics Awarded NIH Grant for Opioid Sensor

QI Innovation Space member CARI Therapeutics has received a grant from the National Institutes of Health to collaboratively develop a biosensor that will detect the presence of opioids in patients in recovery.

‘Lab-on-a-glove’ Could Bring Nerve-agent Detection to a Wearer’s Fingertips

…developed a wearable, flexible biosensor glove that can rapidly detect toxic nerve agents with the touch of a finger. The so-called “lab-on-a-glove” could help improve both defense and food security measures. The team, led by nanoengineers at the University of California San Diego, published their work this month in ACS…

Biosensor Chip Detects Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Wirelessly and With Higher Sensitivity

…The advance could lead to cheaper, faster and portable biosensors for early detection of genetic markers for diseases such as cancer.

UC San Diego Researchers Develop Sensors to Detect and Measure Cancer’s Ability to Spread

University of California San Diego School of Medicine researchers engineered sensors to detect and measure the metastatic potential of single cancer cells. Metastasis is attributed as the leading cause of death in people with cancer.

Qualcomm Institute-based Startup Receives Funding to Continue Development of Opioid Sensor

CARI Therapeutics has received additional funding from the National Institute of Drug Abuse to refine their tiny implantable biosensor that could help combat the deadly and destructive opioid crisis in the United States.

New Biosensor Visualizes Stress in Living Plant Cells in Real Time

UCSanDiego scientists have developed a new biosensor that visualizes stress in living plant cells in real time. The new nanosensor allows unprecedented access to explore mechanisms related to drought.
