Combinatorial chemistry advances biosensor design for faster, cheaper pathogen detection. The "n-squared" approach optimizes device cost, speed, and reagent use for improved diagnostics.

Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Diagnostics

Background:

  • Combinatorial chemistry has transformed drug discovery and is now enhancing diagnostic device performance.
  • The goal is to create smaller, more affordable, and faster systems for detecting multiple pathogens.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore rational design for improving biosensor performance and miniaturization.
  • To introduce novel combinatorial biosensor systems and mathematical frameworks for optimization.

Main Methods:

  • Developing biosensors with multiple detection channels, each having a single output for a subset of pathogens.
  • Analyzing signal ambiguity with increasing channels and pathogens per channel.
  • Evaluating strategies for disambiguating positive signals.
