About our project
Biosensors are at the forefront of biomedical and bioengineering research because of their applicability to a wide range of diseases. Using computer modeling we simulated the behavior of a glucose sensing biosensor, which fluoresces in the presence in glucose. Therefore this serves as an effective monitor of blood glucose levels, a critical biomarker for diabetes. This could be coupled with an insulin producing circuit to treat diabetes without the invasive needles and injections.
Biosensors
Biosensors, using naturally occurring mechanisms, detect chemicals that serves as markers for diseases like diabetes, cancer, and ALS.
Modelling
Using high resolution computer modeling, we simulated the behavior of a glucose sensing biosensor in different environments.
