Architecture of a Portable System Based on a Biochip for DNA Recognition

Abstract:
This presentation introduces an architecture for a portable system based on a magnetoresistive biochip microarray for DNA recognition or microorganism/cell identification. In this biochip, biological targets are labeled with magnetic nanoparticles which are used to guide target over surface immobilized probes. Furthermore, the magnetic stray field created by those labels is detected by on-chip magnetic resistive sensors providing target and probe molecular recognition.
The architecture is proposed for developing a biochip platform that incorporates electronics for addressing, reading out, sensing and controlling temperature and in addition a handheld analyzer capable of multiparameter identification. The biochip platform can be plugged in a peripheric standard bus of the analyzer device or communicate through a wireless channel.

Upcoming Events
Workshop “Metabolism and mathematical models: Two for a tango” – 2nd Edition
Title: Workshop Metabolism and mathematical models: Two for a tango – 2nd Edition
Dates: October 25-26, 2022
Location: This workshop will be held in a virtual way
The topic of this workshop is metabolism in general, with a special focus, although not exclusive, on parasitology. Besides an exploration of the biological, biochemical and biomedical aspects, the workshop will also aim at presenting some of the mathematical modelling, algorithmic theory and software development that have become crucial to explore such aspects.
This workshop is being organised in the context of two projects, both with the Inria European Team Erable. One of the projects involves a partnership with the University of São Paulo (USP), in São Paulo, Brazil, more specifically the Institute of Mathematics and Statistics (IME) and the Institute of Biomedical Sciences – Inria Associated Team Capoeira – and the other involves the Inesc-ID/IST in Portugal, ETH in Zürich and EMBL in Heidelberg – H2020 Twinning Project Olissipo.
The workshop is open to all members of these two projects but also, importantly, to the community in general.
The program and more details are available here.
