Short description
Development of a biosensor to help better control and manage diabetes by simultaneously measuring two key parameters of glucose metabolism.
Aims
- Design 3D scaffolds and their modification with biologically active molecules (immobilization with enzymes, specific antibodies).
- Preparation of the glucose and insulin platform of the biosensor.
- Performance of in vitro tests to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the final prototype of the biosensor and its protective coatings
