n²STAR Seminar by Asst. Prof. Hatice Ceylan Koydemir

Developments in micro- and nano-fabrication technologies have substantially advanced the powerful and smart portable biomedical devices for point-of-care diagnostics, especially for low-resource settings. Such portable devices offer great potential to transform the future of healthcare through personalized telemedicine. They can improve people’s life quality through rapid and accurate detection and classification of various analytes with integrated computational learning approaches. This talk will cover portable imaging and sensing technologies using various imaging techniques, including fluorescence imaging, speckle imaging, brightfield imaging, and lens-free holographic imaging, and the design details of each platform and their assay components will be presented. The advantages and limitations of each miniaturized and portable platform will be discussed compared to the standard imaging methods.
