?? Excited to Share My First Review Paper Publication! ?? I'm thrilled to announce that my research paper, "Review—Quantum Biosensors: Principles and Applications in Medical Diagnostics," has been published in the ECS Sensors Plus,?Volume 3,?Number 2, Published on behalf of The Electrochemical Society by IOP Publishing Limited. This paper delves into the intersection of physics and biosensing, quantum biosensors (QB) which are transforming medical diagnostics and personalized medicine by exploiting quantum phenomena to amplify sensitivity, specificity, and detection speed compared to traditional biosensors. Their foundation lies in the fusion of biological entities like DNA, proteins, or enzymes with quantum sensors, which elicits discernible alterations in light emissions when interacting with sample molecules. Our goal is to demonstrate how QB resonates with possibilities, poised to reshape the diagnostic landscape profoundly. Thank you to everyone who supported me throughout this two years journey. Your encouragement and insights were invaluable. I thank the R&D cell, Woxsen University for the support.

U-M BME researchers have developed an exciting new tool to decipher the objectives of cells. The researchers tried to answer a simple but elusive scientific question: “What is a cell trying to produce?”? The new tool, developed by?Sriram Chandrasekaran, Associate Professor, Biomedical Engineering, and his PhD student?Da-Wei Lin, is called SCOOTI (Single-cell Optimization Objective and Trade-off Inference). SCOOTI uses snapshots of omics data and predicts the ultimate metabolic “destination.” This is analogous to taking a picture of traffic and figuring out where most drivers are heading. SCOOTI can improve our understanding of cellular objectives, with implications for drug development, cellular reprogramming, and bioengineering. At its core, SCOOTI leverages machine learning algorithms to infer the objectives of individual cells by analyzing their metabolic and transcriptomic data. Read more: https://lnkd.in/g72iSuc6
