1. What is your contribution to the project (what’s your project part about)?
Tyndall National Institute are the coordinating partner of BioSensei and are responsible for the development of electrochemical sensors that will be used to transcribe the chemical signals produced by the biosensors into electrical signals for interpretation.
2. What’s the benefit/opportunity for society from the BioSensei research project?
BioSensei targets harmful, but hard to detect, pollutants that currently require extensive in lab testing. Having quicker knowledge of their presence will allow us to take swift action and mitigate harmful effects.
3. What are the scientific advancements you most look forward to in this field of research?
BioSensei is developing novel, first in class integrated biosensors and transducers that have the potential to revolutionise the detection of otherwise hard to detect species.
