In addition to a paper published in Lab on a Chip, Dr. Reza Ghodssi and his group receive an NSF grant to explore gut inflammation

MSAL alumnus, George Banis et. al, has written "Capacitive sensing of triglyceride film reactions: a proof-of-concept demonstration for sensing in simulated duodenal contents with gastrointestinal targeting capsule system," published in the Royal Society of Chemistry’s April 2020 Lab on a Chip. The paper describes an integrated ingestible capsule sensing system with triglyceride film-coated capacitive sensors that can measure biochemical species such as pancreatic lipase and bile acids in the duodenum.

 

Additionally, a new 3-year, $350,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) award will allow Dr. Reza Ghodssi and his MEMS Sensors and Actuators Laboratory (MSAL) to develop an ingestible capsule featuring a closed-loop operation, enabling effective detection, intervention, and further surveillance of GI pathologies.  (26 – May/2020)
