| The Brain Tumor
Biochip [BTChip(TM)] is currently being developed as a collaborative
effort by the Center for
Bioelectronics, Biosensors and Biochips (C3B). This collaborative
research effort involves neurosurgery, molecular genetics, engineering
and bioinformatics. The goal of this project is to produce a highly
dedicated chip, or suite of chips, that will aid the pathologist in
arriving at a molecular diagnostic assessment of excised brain tumors. |

|
The biochip
platform has been under development within the C3B since 1999. C3B
consortium members, faculty and industry members, pursue
non-traditional approaches to DNA hybridization detection in the
Advanced DNA Microarray project. Here, they work to implement these
basic science and engineering developments in clinically convenient and
expeditious diagnostic and prognostic technologies to improve upon
brain tumor outcomes.
|
|
| The C3B has
designed, built and maintains a multi-element array biochip platform
that implements alternative detection strategies and works towards
dedicated biochip applicatons. |
