Overview
Today, medicine is on the cusp of evolving from one-size-fits-all therapies to a more personalized medicine. Employing the best scientific and engineering practices, the Center for Applied NanoBioscience hopes to develop novel molecular-based diagnostic tests that can be used by individuals and public health systems to facilitate personalized medicine.
To create new ways to diagnose disease, monitor health, and build enabling polymer electronics, the center merges new technologies from nanoscience, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), polymer and ambient intelligence with genomics and molecular biology. This fusion allows for the creation of novel sensor systems ... Read More »

ASU Embarks on Innovative Fuel Cell Project
Roller coaster gas prices and rising energy costs for the home have created uneasiness about the future of our fossil-fuel based economy. One near-term solution being pursued by researchers at the Biodesign Institute at ASU is a new fuel cell technology for renewable energy and the fledgling hydrogen economy. Read More »
Tiny fuel cell could power laptop computers, portable music players
If you’re frustrated by frequently losing battery power in your laptop computers, digital cameras or portable music players, then take heart: A better source of “juice” is in the works. Chemists at the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University, have created a tiny hydrogen-gas generator that they say can be developed into a compact fuel cell package. This could then power portable electronic devices three to five times longer than conventional batteries of the same size and weight. Read More »
