NJIT Aiding Development Of Novel DNA Microarray Technology
The Center for Applied Genomics (CAG) at the International Center for Public Health, in Newark, is currently developing and evaluating novel DNA microarray technology in collaboration with the NJIT Microelectronics Research Center (MRC) and the Medical Device Concept Laboratory.
CAG has forged successful strategic alliances and initiated technology programs to distinguish
it from other genome centers. The programs include development of:
- Smart-pin robotic printing technology.
- DNA microtransponder bioassays.
- Electronic genosensors.
"This an outstanding example of the collaboration and partnership that the Microelectronics Research Center and the New Jersey MEMS (Microelectromechanical Systems) initiative make possible," said Beau Farmer, MRC director. "The facilities at NJIT serve as a fantastic regional resource."
Research programs have been established among CAG affiliated scientists and several companies. PharmaSeq Inc. has developed and patented DNA microtransponder technology that CAG staff are developing specific expression profiling and genotyping assays for human genes and genetic disorders.
In collaboration with GeneMachines Inc., CAG is developing new microarray robotic spotting technology. Using MEMS technology, CAG is developing genosensors that can detect DNA hybridization electronically.
