BioCurrents Research Center: Research

Thanks to the following for materials & support

BRC Projects

Technological research and development at the BRC are driven by the following:

	Continued support and further expansion of established sensor applications : potentiometric, amperometric and enzyme modified
	Measurement of rapid physiological events (msec) using electrochemical techniques
	Integrated platform and sensor positioning

For details on the technology being developed at the BRC, click on sections in the 'Technology by Subject' box to the right.

Collaborative Research

Annually the BRC hosts approximately 30 investigators and students pursuing their chosen research, over 75% of whom hold NIH grants. These partnerships drive and advance our technologies. Integrated closely with our own research and development, joint research projects identify, through application, new areas requiring technical advances. The technology developed by the BRC lends itself to specific biomedical disciplines. For instance, recent work has shown particular applications for epithelial function, electrophoresis, mammalian reproductive physiology and diabetes. Click here for a list of collaborators.

These collaborative initiatives are in accord with the NIH roadmap of integrative, multi-disciplinary and multi-institutional efforts. Collaborative research projects are gathered in the 'projects by subject' box to the right.

BRC Service

The BioCurrents Research Center also supports a service component which allows access to specialized resources and facilities. As with collaborative researchers, service visitors are required to reserve research time in advance. Click here to apply.
