Diagnostics lab on a chip

Objectif

The problem is increasing demand on healthcare systems, for reasons including the ageing European population and the availability of more diagnostic tests due to the human genome project. For this a rapid, cost effective solution is required. We propose to develop a diagnostics lab on a chip. Lab Chip will greatly accelerate the diagnostics process by miniaturisation and increased detection sensitivity by integrating multiplex molecular biology with dielectrophoresis, Brownian ratchets and micro electro mechanical systems. This will allow several genetic tests to be conducted at the point of care. Cooperative research across Europe will enable this, gathering skills and reflecting healthcare in different member states. The deliverable will be a working chip for chosen diseases (e.g. salmonella) ready for validation and legislative approval. The technology will then be applied to other diagnostics.
