Subvention ou bourse octroyée s'appliquant à plus d'un exercice financier (2017-2018 à 2018-2019).

This proposal will support the new collaboration between Spartan Bioscience Inc. a nanotech company fromx000D
Ottawa, Ontario and the Lessard research group at the University of Ottawa. Spartan's technology fullyx000D
integrates DNA collection, extraction and analysis, with an intuitive interface that is easy to operate. Thex000D
company has interests in exploring new sensors for DNA detection to ultimately reduce costs and increasex000D
profitability. Spartan Bioscience Inc. is interested in the possibility of applying printed electronics as a route tox000D
improve their system, however the majority of the R & D department is focused on the existing technologyx000D
development and lack the expertise required to fully evaluate this emerging technology. The Lessard researchx000D
group has experience in organic electronic sensor fabrication and characterization that can validate the use ofx000D
organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) as a possible sensing route for single stranded DNA. The results from thisx000D
engagement would further illustrate the potential of OTFT based DNA sensors and the use of printed electronicx000D
devices and help design the next generation DNA testing system.
