Utilizing biological materials in engineering to create biosensors and new materials

【Supercategory：4. Techtextiles Subcategory：4.7 For medical and healthcare】

I am working to develop a biosensor capable of easily identifying the appropriate amount of medicine to administer by affixing CYP, which plays a central role in the liver, to an electrode. Diatoms, a type of phytoplankton, use a protein called silaffin to form their silica shells. My lab has succeeded in using a polymer that imitates that structure to create new silica materials in numerous forms.
