Molecular diagnostics using lab-on-a-Chip

Objectif

Recent developments make it increasingly clear that the majority of life-threatening diseases have a relation with genetic effects. Early detection of these diseases greatly improves the therapeutic success rate, leading to a prolongation of the healthy and productive lifespan of the individual.
The aim of the MODUL project is to develop the low-cost diagnostic devices that are indispensable for the large-scale introduction of molecular diagnostics based on genetic identification and expression profiling. A lab-on-a-chip platform is a generic term for any miniaturised integrated device that performs the many steps of a molecular diagnostic assay automatically.
The advantages are a large efficiency saving, much lower volumes of costly biological reagents and the possibility of doing many analyses in parallel at relatively low cost.
Philips Research has expert knowledge in designing and constructing modalities based on electronic technologies but has insufficient in-depth knowledge of biochemical processes and protocols, biophysics and clinical laboratory tests. In this proposal we request a Marie Curie grant to employ three scientific fellows with biochemistry and biophysics experience. It is the intention that the candidates transfer their biochemistry and biophysics knowledge to Philips staff and in return build up electronics/device expertise.
The fellows will work on various aspects of the lab-on-chip platform and extract the maximum value for Europe from the promising overlap region between integrated devices and molecular diagnostics.
