A new paper by Laaya Sabri, Qinglan Huang, Jui-Nung Liu, and Brian T. Cunningham from the Nanosensors Group at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign introduces a fundamentally new class of all-dielectric nanoantenna field-enhancement structures for biosensing applications that, due to destructive farfield interference of resonant modes, functions as a nonradiating “anapole” in the visible spectrum. […]
https://beckman.illinois.edu/news/2018/06/zhuo-yue By Maeve Reilly. Published on June 01, 2018 Photonic Resonator Outcoupler Microscopy (PROM) Focal adhesions are large specialized proteins that are located in the area where a cell membrane meets the extracellular matrix (ECM), a collection of molecules surrounding the cells that provide support and regulate micromechanical signals to the cells. Examining focal adhesions […]
RESEARCH THEME UPDATE: OMICS NANOTECHNOLOGY FOR CANCER PRECISION MEDICINE JANET MCGREEVY | 1/29/2018 3:56:12 PM Have you ever wondered how ground-breaking, innovative research ideas get their start? How does an interdisciplinary research team come together, with just the right people to move the research forward? The Omics Nanotechnology for Cancer Precision Medicine (ONC-PM) theme is […]
Nanosensor Group BioE graduate student Kenny Long was selected as the recipient of the best student paper at the 2017 IEEE/NIH Special Topics Conference on Healthcare Innovations on Point of Care Technologies in Bethesda, MD. His paper, entitled “Design and demonstration of the transmission, reflection, intensity (TRI)-Analyzer instrument for mobile spectroscopy” was co-authored with ECE […]
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign are creating a mobile sensor technology called PathTracker for performing detection and identification of viral and bacterial pathogens. By means of a smartphone-based detection instrument, the results are shared with a cloud-based data management service that will enable physicians to rapidly visualize the geographical and temporal spread […]
A multidisciplinary group that includes the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of Washington at Tacoma has developed a novel platform to diagnose infectious disease at the point of care using a smartphone as the detection instrument in conjunction with a test kit in the format of a credit card. The group is […]
Yue Zhuo, PHD ’15 BIOE and postdoctoral fellow at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, recently earned the 2017 Microscopy and Microanalysis Postdoctoral Scholar Award for her conference paper, “Label-free Imaging of Stem Cell Adhesion and Dynamic Tracking of Boundary Evolution using Photonic Crystal Enhanced Microscopy” (PCEM). The Microscopy Society of America presented the award […]
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed technology that enables a smartphone to perform lab-grade medical diagnostic tests that typically require large, expensive instruments. Costing only $550, the spectral transmission-reflectance-intensity (TRI)-Analyzer from Bioengineering and Electrical & Computer Engineering Professor Brian Cunningham’s lab attaches to a smartphone and analyzes patient blood, urine, or […]
