Our newly published paper on the bonding of PDMS to metal and plastics for microfluidics is finally online! https://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/1.5070136… Happy to be the editor's pick on the APL Materials main site! https://aip.scitation.org/journal/apm Follow our updates on Facebook (@neurosensNEST) and Twitter (@neurosens1) !!!
Below there is a video presentation of BRAIKER for the InnovationVillage 2019. This event will take place in Naples and will connect researchers to industries!We will be there in the exposition area and at the brokerage event. See you there!Link to the InnovationVillage website: www.innovationvillage.it https://youtu.be/Zcj1jRfuq78
On the 6th March Venera got her Master Degree in Pharmaceutics with the thesis "Influence of the intestinal water flow on the nanoparticles diffusion through mucus".What an outstanding presentation Venera! Hope to see you soon among us.
BRAIKER, a novel biosensor for brain biomarkers, won the PHD+ contest!!! This was organized by University of Pisa, Scuola Normale Superiore, Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna and IMT of Lucca as a part of the Contamination Lab initiative. This course is focused on high tech start-up, how to begin and how to make it grow. Link to the site. The winning pitch was given by Matteo Agostini who presented BRAIKER, a novel biomedical device for brain pathologies that Neurosens developed. It is based on nano-acoustics, namely acoustics exploiting nanotechnology. Thanks to nano-sensors and micro-transductors it can manipulate fluids and perform molecular assays. This lab-on-a-chip will be explored for other pathologies, too. This device was funded by the Regione Toscana project GLIOMICS for brain pathologies.
NeuroSens was present at the 2nd European Biosensor Symposium. This conference aims to stimulate exchanges among researchers working in Europe, or outside Europe, in the field of Biosensors. Here, young researchers presented their recent results from the front end of research, while keynotes speakers showed high-end research and traced the directions of current trends.The Symposium key topics areTechnologies for innovative formats: miniaturized, implantable, non-invasive, disposable, single/multiarray biosensors, paper-diagnosticsBioengineered and biomimetic recognition elements (MIPs, aptamers, receptors, modified enzymes with increasing catalytic activity, sensor-actuator-molecules etc.)Nanotechnology, surface engineering and bioelectronics (Single-Molecule and molecular sensors, nanoparticles and nanostructures enhancing biosensor performance etc.)Cell biosensors: Sensors with cells (Pharma testing, cell toxicity, REACH); in the cell („Pebbels“, indicators, „biosensing“); for cell research and single cell based diagnostics (Patch-Clamp and electrodes, sensors for regenerative therapies)Advances in applications…
On the 11th February, Francesco Amato got his Master Degree in Biotech with a wonderful thesis on the biomarkers detection! Congratulations Francesco and good luck for your professional future!
We recently filed a patent for a "Sensing device based on acoustic-waves for fluids analysis". With this device, we will pursue the Technology Transfer route of our results. We are really proud of this achievement! We strongly believe that the application of our results to the every-day life and the benefits for the society that we hope could originate from it are fundamental aspects of our work.
Biosensors 2018 has been a great congress! High quality and inspiring keynotes in the amazing city of Miami! We've had the opportunity to share our research and establish collaborations. #biosensors2018 A Sub-Nanomolar Rayleigh Surface Acoustic Wave Based Resonator Biosensor Enhanced Chemical Functionalization of Gold Films by Surface Acoustic Waves (SAWs): Perspectives for Biosensing Applications
SIB (Società Italiana Brevetti) is holding a seminar on patenting in life-science at Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna di Pisa. Very useful information on how to protect our ideas. Thanks to the organizer JoTTO (Joint Technology Transfer Office).

NeuroSens is going to present its newest research activities at the prestigious world congress "Biosensors 2018" that will be held in Miami (USA)! The focus of the congress will be novel, high-perfomance biosensing technologies for biomedical purposes, in the light of the precision medicine goal. Matteo will have a presentation titled A sub-nanomolar Rayleigh surface acoustic wave-based resonator biosensor, while Gina will present a poster on Surface acoustic wave (SAW)-enhanced functionalization of gold biosensing films. This is a great opportunity for us for sharing our results and discuss future projects with the best researchers in the world. Master thesis projects on these topics are available at this link! -Matteo
