SYNOPSIS For the past two decades, advances in systems biology as well as micro and nanotechnologies allowed clinicians to imagine the personalized medicine providing the right treatment for each patient thanks to the disease understanding at the molecular level. The research progresses in micro and nanotechnologies have produced innovative methods for sample processing, fluid handling and signal detection. The abilities of moving, mixing and concentrating minute amount of fluids are changing exponentially the healthcare scenery with long-term implications in terms of diagnostics, treatments and delivery of care in the future. Using integrated biomarker sensors it becomes possible to detect diseases in extremely sensitive and specific manner. Highly miniaturized biosensors offer a low-cost, robust, and sensitive/selective platform for a variety of precision medicine applications. Among biomarkers, nucleic acids have enormous potential in non-invasive diagnostics and disease management (liquid biopsy) resulting in a great demand for accurate miRNA, mRNA, and ctDNA identification and profiling. For example, they may lead to screening of early stage cancer that is not detectable by tissue biopsy or imaging. This session will present some activities performed by research groups starting from different backgrounds as microfabrication, material and surface science, electronics and biomedicine. |
