Graphene sensor detects malaria infection

A cross-disciplinary team at NUS – comprising Prof Loh Kian Ping (Department of Chemistry and Graphene Research Centre), Ms Ang Kailian Priscilla (NUS Graduate School for Integrative Sciences and Engineering), Prof Lim Chwee Teck (Division of Bioengineering and Department of Mechanical Engineering), and his former research fellow, Dr Li Ang – has conceptualised and built a device for malaria detection using graphene transistor in a microfluidic channel. The team’s paper, “Flow Sensing of Single Cell by Graphene Transistor in a Microfluidic Channel”, was published in Nano Letters.
