Our last senior design Zoom meeting. This is a photo of our awesome senior design team. The project is into two parts: firmware design (Grant Udstrand and Jacob Cantrell) and analog design (Owen Roe, Li-Sha Lim, and Joe Bajda). All the students attend the weekly MagiCoil meeting with other team members from Dr. Wang’s group, to learn overall progress from the mechanical design and software built up, and get feedback from the requirements on the circuits part.

Congratulations! We wish you success in all your future endeavors!

In our recenlty published paper, we reported the MPS-based detection of Influenza A Virus subtype H1N1. Using MPS and the self-assembly of MNPs, we were able to detect as low as 44 nM (4.4 pmole) H1N1 nucleoprotein. This advancement opens a door to the virus dianostics using our MPS technology.
