🌐 Research Project 🔬 :
💻 Since 2022, Dr. Renato Sousa Lima has been actively involved in a research project focusing on modifiable electrical and electrochemical biosensors with electrodes based on paper or micro/nanofabricated films. The objective is to develop rapid, point-of-care, and high-throughput COVID-19 tests. Leveraging advancements in surface chemistry, artificial intelligence, and nanodecorated electrodes-utilizing renewable materials and films produced through established methods in micro/nanoelectronics-the project aims to translate point-of-care COVID-19 diagnostics into clinical practice.
🌍🗨️ The emphasis on point-of-care and high-throughput testing is crucial for decentralizing medical care and providing clinical data for a significant number of individuals, thereby reducing the risks of infection. The flexible nature of the method also allows for potential extension to biomarkers of other diseases. The project is currently ongoing, highlighting its active status in the realm of research. 🧪🔬
