The proposal builds on innovative technologies patented and published by my group. The project has two specific objectives: 1) to deliver the new generation of intelligent biomedical devices that have the capacity to control infections, inflammation and foreign body response; and 2) to develop a novel, non-invasive and affordable point of care diagnostic technology for early detection of chronic kidney diseases, and kidney and bladder cancers that is much needed in this space of healthcare.
