Presentation Transcript

  1. Biochips Joseph Cullen BME 281

  2. History • 1980- Walter Gilbert discovered DNA sequencing • 1983- Kary Mullis worked to detect DNA through lab tests • 1986- Leroy Hood discovered florescent-based DNA sequencing

  3. What is a Biochip • Array of different chemicals and proteins • Each in its own dot on the chip • Used to run multiple tests simultaneously • Dot depend on the kind of test

  4. Uses • Research • Forensics • Diagnosis • Identification

  5. Process • DNA sample taken • DNA put over chip • cDNA and DNA on the chip match up • The chip is then scanned • Hooked up to a computer, which uses equations to determine the likeliness of the sickness

  6. Benefits • Quicker Diagnosis

  7. Concerns • Identity implants

  8. Future • Be able to find the exact diagnosis through just using Biochip technology • Ability to diagnose and treat more people in third world countries • Low cost tests
