TeraIBs:
The TeraIBs project aims to create groundbreaking technology using THz radiation for medical detection and diagnosis.
TeraIBs includes 11 specific projects, each addressing different aspects of the biosensors and technologies being developed. These projects combine theoretical work, design, and experimental validation at the system level.
POC devices are highly sought after for on-site health checks and biosecurity because they are easy to use, affordable, and can quickly detect various biomarkers like proteins, antibodies, nucleic acids, and pathogens such as viruses.
The field of THz biosensorics is rapidly growing. THz waves, found at the far end of the infrared spectrum, are excellent for studying biomolecules and tissues due to their sensitivity to water content. They hold great promise for a wide range of medical diagnostic applications, from examining nucleic acids and proteins to studying cells and tissues.
One of the standout features of THz bioanalytics is its ability to detect biomolecular interactions without the need for labels, using low-energy radiation that is gentle on delicate samples. This is particularly important for studying complex structures like protein complexes and vesicles, which can be damaged by more invasive techniques.
To achieve personalized medicine, we need more efficient and cost-effective analytic methods like THz sensing. However, this requires a coordinated interdisciplinary effort to fully realize the potential of THz bioanalytics and spectroscopy. Improvements in sensitivity, specificity, simplicity, integration, reliability, and cost-efficiency are essential. The TeraIBs project aims to train future researchers who can turn this vision into reality.
The Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) coordinates the TeraIBs project.
Through this comprehensive training, DCs will develop a versatile set of skills that are crucial for innovation, long-term employability, and leadership in biomedical detection and THz technologies.
Through this comprehensive training, DCs will develop a versatile set of skills that are crucial for innovation, long-term employability, and leadership in biomedical detection and THz technologies. The TeraIBs project is committed to preparing these future leaders to bring new, effective medical solutions to the market.
To overcome these challenges, we need specialists who can blend biomedical knowledge with high-tech expertise. The TeraIBs doctoral network is designed to train a new generation of experts. Doctoral Candidates (DCs) will gain deep knowledge in THz devices, spectroscopic techniques, and biomedical analytics. This training builds on their Master’s studies and equips them to tackle complex problems in biomedical sensing using THz technology.
The TeraIBs project aims to create groundbreaking technology using THz radiation for medical detection and diagnosis. Currently, many medical devices are too large, expensive, and complex, making them hard to access. Additionally, existing technologies often lack the sensitivity and accuracy needed for many medical applications.
