Welcome to the Rutgers University 

NanoBioElectronics Laboratory

The NanoBioElectronics Laboratory was founded by its director, Mehdi Javanmard, in 2014, in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Rutgers University.

 

Our lab focuses on exploiting emerging micro- and nanotechnologies for health and environmental monitoring.

 

The high cost of diagnostic exams in the clinical setting has resulted in a healthcare crisis both nationally and globally.  The lack of sensitivity in current state-of-the-art biosensing platforms used in the clinical setting has resulted in slow and expensive diagnostic exams. This makes it economically unfeasible to regularly screen patients for a wide panel of biomarkers, making impossible the diagnosis of diseases at early stages while still curable.  By making use of the advantages offered by micro and nanotechnologies, we aim to develop sensing platforms which will decrease cost, increase assay speed, and improve limit of detection in biomolecular assays. Increasing sensitivity can enable earlier detection, and also can allow for identification of low-abundance markers that are not detectable with current techniques.
