Microfabrication of biosensor for detection of fluid leakages in post-operative complications

With every surgery, there is always a risk that a post-operative complication could occur. NERv Technology Inc. is developing a disruptive solution to post-operative complications. NERv is developing an implantable biochip with multiple biosensors capable of detecting post-operative complications in real-time. NERv has developed a macro-prototype capable of detecting internal bleeding and the leakage of bodily fluids in real-time. Using the intern’s experience in microfabrication technology, the intern will work with NERv to scale down the current macro-prototype to the micron level in order to integrate the biosensor on the biochip.
