Integrated biosensing systems\, which combine various scientific d isciplines such as biology\, chemistry\, medicine\, electrical engineering \, and mechanical engineering\, are viewed as effective approaches to tack le the associated medical and health concerns. While conventional laborato ry-based testing remains prevalent\, the appeal of routine use of low-cost and near-patient diagnostic systems opens up potential avenues for rapid disease screening\, longitudinal medication effectiveness studies\, biomar ker discovery\, and prognostics.\n\nIn this research seminar\, Dr. Salahan dish delves into the scientific underpinnings and outcomes of her doctoral and postdoctoral research\, as well as her ongoing investigations into no vel technologies for biomedical devices\, with a specific focus on wearabl e diagnostic platforms. This includes the fabrication of compact and multi plexed electrochemical biosensing systems\, utilizing screen-printing of c hemically engineered nanomaterial inks\, or developing nanocomposite inter faces to detect disease-related proteins\, RNAs/DNAs\, and metabolites.\n\ nAdditionally\, Dr. Salahandish will discuss the integration of biosensing strips with microfluidic systems to enable automated on-chip assay perfor mance\, as well as the development of impedance-based bi-potentiostats as custom-made handheld readout systems. The combination of these technologie s creates a portable quantitative diagnostic platform. Although the clinic al applications of electrochemical sensing are still in the early stages o f validation\, there are promising research opportunities in utilizing the se biosensors for rapid detection of multiple biomarkers\, wearable and in -vivo biosensing patches and chips\, and tissue modeling organ-on-a-chip s ystems for drug discovery purposes. These advancements hold great potentia l in both academic and industrial realms for breakthrough developments in the future.\n\nSpeaker(s): Razieh (Neda) Salahandish\, PhD.\, \n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/363735 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/363735 ORGANIZER:s.sedghizadeh.ca@ieee.org SEQUENCE:41 SUMMARY:Diagnostic and Prognostic Medical Devices URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/363735 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="Default">Join the IEEE Toronto Inst rumentation &amp\; Measurement &ndash\; Robotics &amp\; Automation Joint C hapter for a talk on the<strong> Diagnostic and Prognostic Medical Devices </strong>\, presented by&nbsp\;<strong>Dr. Razieh (Neda) Salahandish</stro ng>.</p>\n<p class="Default">&nbsp\;</p>\n<p class="Default"><span style=" color: #3598db\; font-size: 18pt\;"><strong>Wednesday\, August 16\, 2023 @ 4:00 &ndash\; 5:00 PM</strong></span></p>\n<p class="Default"><strong>Abs tract:</strong> Clinicians are increasingly interested in employing innova tive engineering tools and techniques for early-stage disease diagnosis\, including infectious diseases\, cancers\, and brain injury disorders\, to reduce economic\, social\, and health burdens.
