U.S.-India Cooperative Research: Electronic Detection of Biomolecular Interactions

0352706图纸描述：该奖项支持美国-印度合作研究题为生物分子相互作用的电子检测。 西北大学的Vinayak Dravid和Gajendra Shekhawat教授将与资深科学家C。R.昌迪加尔微生物技术研究所（IMTECH）的Suri和Girish Varshney介绍了能够检测生化神经毒剂的先进传感器系统。 我们的目标是解决与智能传感器系统相关的关键问题，与集成方法的基础上，新的功能化多路复用微悬臂梁阵列，完全集成在一个芯片上的微电子平台。 他们希望完成一个交钥匙系统，该系统由完全集成的检测技术组成，能够监测危险环境，并在面临生化威胁时产生自动决策输出。 适用范围：美国和印度集团在材料科学、生物学和工程学方面拥有多样但互补的专业知识，并有潜力将生物化学传感器技术推向新的高度。 IMTECH是隶属于印度政府科学和工业研究机构理事会的高级研究所之一。 除了对两国学生和研究人员的重大教育利益外，研究人员还将在芝加哥科学与工业博物馆利用集成纳米传感器的显示模块进行公共宣传。 这项研究也得到了印度科学技术部（DST）在NSF/DST联合计划下的支持。

0352706DravidDescription: This award supports the US-India cooperative research entitled Electronic Detection of Biomolecular Interactions. Professors Vinayak Dravid and Gajendra Shekhawat of Northwestern University will collaborate with senior scientists C. R. Suri and Girish Varshney of the Institute of Microbial Technology (IMTECH), Chandigarh on advanced sensor systems able to detect biochemical nerve agents. The goal is to address critical issues associated with smart sensor systems, with an integrated approach based on novel functionalized multiplexed micro-cantilever arrays that are fully integrated with an on-chip microelectronics platform. They expect to complete a turnkey system consisting of fully integrated detection technologies that are capable of monitoring hazardous environments and producing automated decision output in the face of bio-chemical threats. Scope: The US and Indian groups have diverse yet complementary expertise in materials science, biology and engineering and have the potential to advance bio-chemical sensor technology to new heights. IMTECH is one of the advanced institutes belonging to the Government of India's Council of Scientific and Industrial Research institutions. In addition to the significant educational benefits for students and researchers in both countries, the investigators will do public outreach with display modules of Integrated Nanosensors at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. This research is also supported by India's Department of Science & Technology (DST) under the NSF/DST joint program.
