Nanoporous Membrane Protein Biomarker Detectors

Disease assessment can be based on one or many biomarkers – a specific gene, protein, or other biological substance – that can be used to assess disease progress and aid in determining treatment. Unfortunately, biomarker-based measurements are often slow, expensive or otherwise impractical. PSU researchers have fabricated biomarker detectors with...
