Projectdetails

Introduction

OMICSENS aims to develop a radically new omics measurement platform that would be initially applied to improve non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) prognosis by ensuring a timely and accurate detection of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI) resistance associated with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) mutations. Subsequently, OMICSENS will be used to improve the prognosis of patients suffering from other types of cancers.

Objectives

OMICSENS targets the creation of the first nano-photonic integrated omics bio-sensor to tackle TKI resistance and improve NSCLC treatment outcomes and patient prognosis.

Technology Overview

Thanks to OMICSENS, we will build a six-layer technology comprised of:

  1. An on-chip embedded infrared source array
  2. An artificial intelligence optimized nano-structured surface for photonic signal enhancement
  3. A functionalized surface of high absorbance to specific analytes
  4. A microfluidics system to deliver the sample
  5. A metamaterial-based photo detector array with optimized quantum efficiency
  6. An AI algorithm enabling analyte quantification

Our miniaturized omics bio-sensor will enable real-time and concurrent measurements of omics, compatible with organ-on-chip (OOC) in the future.

Future Applications

OOC is one of the most promising bioengineering developments, paving the way to more efficient drug testing and personalized medicine through digital twinning of a biological system. However, OOC is lacking a real-time, integrated bio-sensing technology. OMICSENS proposes a disruptive bio-sensor to bridge this gap.

Impact on Healthcare

OMICSENS will create a radically new device useful for telehealth, capable of improving medical diagnostics while fostering a patient-centered approach.

Consortium

To achieve our novel and ambitious objective, we have brought together an interdisciplinary consortium of top-level academics (LMU, UNITN, IBEC, KTH) and SMEs (MW, QAI, 4K-MEMS), including expertise in:

  • Oncology
  • Bio-engineering
  • Micro-fluidics
  • Biochemistry
  • MEMS
  • Nano-photonics
  • Computational physics
  • Artificial intelligence
