Liju Yang, a postdoctoral research associate in Purdue's School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, uses a microscope to see bacterial cells placed into a microchip containing an antibody that captures the bacteria. The technology, developed in the lab of professor Rashid Bashir, offers promise for creating devices called "biochips" that can also detect proteins indicative of diseases such as cancer. Such devices can provide a means to perform early detection of cancer from body fluids.
