Our last book chapter highlighted in CAMPUSA: In the book entitled Microfluidic Systems for Cancer Diagnosis, the UPV/EHU’s Microfluidics Cluster group describes the process for building a bioelectronic device consisting of gold electrodes coated with a smart polymer capable of capturing and releasing cells in a non-invasive, controllable way while monitoring the processes using conventional electrical measurements. These are the first steps towards developing universal platforms for early cancer screening.

Janire Saez was interviewed by Elhuyar, for Campusa magazine about her work on bioeletronic interfaces to assess colorectal cancer. You can read the whole interview in this link.

Good job Janire and team!
