What does it really take to turn a student biosensor project into a real-world innovation? Join us for the talk From "Oops" to "Aha!": Biosensor Improvement Stories – a behind-the-scenes look at the journey of an award winning UCTeam competing in the SensUs international competition. This team managed to design the best performing biosensor last year. This year they would like to take this idea one step further. Using the know-how they gathered last year they are trying to improve the biosensor and eventually prepare it for the real world and todays demanding market.
How do you go from an idea to a functional biosensor? And how do you convince the world it’s worth investing in? How can you apply biochemical approach to help real world patients?
