We develop and implement technologies to prevent the spread of infectious diseases throughout ecological systems and promote human health through advanced biosensors and therapeutics.
Biometry and biosystems informatics deals with pathogenic diseases that affect humans, animals and the environment. Solutions to infectious diseases like avian and swine influenza, SARS, tuberculosis and more need to be investigated at the level of ecological systems. Our researchers are addressing these issues using smartphone- and cloud-based diagnostics, big data analysis, genomic/proteomic identification of pathogens, lab-on-a-chip biosensors and nanotechnology-based sensing and therapeutics.
