  • Multifunctional bioelectronic interfaces have been challenging to realize. Now, a bioelectronic platform is demonstrated that combines electrochemical sensing, electrophysiological monitoring and neuromorphic computing in a single device. Multimodal functionality is achieved by selectively incorporating different electrolytes across the organic electrochemical transistor array in the platform.

  • We developed a portable field-effect transistor (FET) platform for ultrasensitive endometrial cancer diagnostics by translating precise molecular orientation control into robust and highly reproducible FET signal amplification. We used a genetic code expansion-assisted approach to immobilize nanobodies in a defined orientation on a sensor. Integration into a point-of-care prototype enabled attomolar-level detection of the endometrial cancer biomarkers HE4 and CA125 directly in serum samples.
