This engage grant will be used by Prof. Maheshwari's group to collaborate with NERv and develop a cost-effective chip that will be used specifically for detection of bacterial infection in peritoneal cavity. The chip will be developed using the cell-based graphene sensors that have been researched in Prof. Maheshwari's group. Detection of such bacterial infections is crucial to post-operative monitoring where during an operation the sterile peritoneal cavity is exposed to the external environment and surgical tools that can lead to infection, complications and even patient deaths.

Maheshwari教授的团队将利用这笔资金与NERv合作，开发一种具有成本效益的芯片，专门用于检测腹膜腔中的细菌感染。该芯片将使用Maheshwari教授团队研究的基于细胞的石墨烯传感器开发。此类细菌感染的检测对于术后监测至关重要，其中在手术期间，无菌腹膜腔暴露于外部环境和手术工具，这可能导致感染、并发症甚至患者死亡。
