CBB awards seed funding for bioengineering and biotechnology research

Friday, March 15, 2019

Ten Waterloo researchers are receiving seed funding from the Centre for Bioengineering and Biotechnology (CBB).

The funding will support the collaboration of multi-disciplinary research teams across Waterloo faculties and departments, with the goal of propelling scientific innovation and growth, and mentoring the next generation of researchers.

The recipients of round two include:

  • Peter Levine, Electrical and Computer Engineering; Robin Duncan, Kinesiology

“A semiconductor-integrated electrochemical camera for real-time label-free cell assays”

The research aims to demonstrate fully-electronic real-time label-free imaging (sensing and monitoring) of cells using semiconductor integrated circuits that could decrease the complexity and cost of therapeutic drug development and cell efficacy research, development, and analysis.
