A group of researchers from Case Western Reserve University and Taipei Medical University recently published “Application of bioconjugation chemistry on biosensor fabrication for detection of TAR-DNA binding protein 43” in Biosensors and Bioelectronics.
The group developed a single-use and cost-effective in vitro biosensor for the detection of TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43), a biomarker of neurodegenerative disorders.
The researchers from CWRU were:
- Yifan Dai, PhD candidate in the Department of Chemistry;
- Chunlai Wang, PhD candidate in the Department of Chemistry;
- Liang-Yuan Chiu, PhD candidate in the Department of Chemistry;
- Kevin Abbasi, engineer with the Swagelok Center for Surface Analysis;
- Blaton S. Tolbert, associate professor of chemistry;
- Geneviève Sauvé, associate professor of chemistry; and
- Chung-Chiun Liu, the Wallace R. Persons Professor of Sensor Technology & Control, Distinguished University Professor, professor of chemical engineering and director of the electronics design center.
