Understanding the chemistry of cancer with a smart paper chip

The purpose of the project is to design a paper-based device for the co-detection of nitric oxide (NO) and glucose in a tumor angiogenesis model. By combining paper technologies to electrochemical sensing, we envision that an easy-to-use, smart tumor model can be built. The devices will be tested on co-cultured endothelial and tumor cells, to track the levels of glucose and NO in this model of tumor communication. Pharmacological alterations will be tested as a proof of concept.
