MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Researchers in the fields of bioelectronics and biosensors are in Morgantown for a symposium.
The symposium hosted by West Virginia University’s Department of Physics began Sunday and continues Monday.
Bioelectronics develops electronic devices with unique properties by combining engineering, physics, chemistry and biology.
Adjunct assistant professor Aniketa Shinde says most biosensor applications are medical, environmental or used in the food industry. They include a home blood glucose detector used by patients with diabetes.
Shinde says WVU is developing rapid DNA analysis, detecting toxins in the environment and other applications.
