This DARPA grant, In vivo Nanoplatforms for Diagnostics (IVN:Dx), is for developing biocompatible nanosensors. The objective is to achieve continuous, noninvasive, and highly accurate measurement of various conditions and substances directly within living tissues of animals, plants, and insects. These sensors, made from non-toxic materials with limited immunogenicity, will enable qualitative and quantitative assessment over large concentration ranges. They will target both small molecules (e.g., glucose, lactate) and large molecules (e.g., proteins, infectious agents, threat agents). Detection will occur via optical, electronic, thermal, or magnetic mechanisms, providing versatile diagnostic capabilities.

| Description: | The specific objective of the In vivo Nanoplatforms for Diagnostics (IVN:Dx) thrust of the In vivo Nanoplatforms (IVN) program is to develop biocompatible nanosensors that provide continuous, noninvasive, and highly accurate measurement of a variety of conditions and substances within the living tissue of animals, plants, and insects using non-toxic materials with limited immunogenicity. These sensors will permit qualitative and quantitative assessment over large concentration ranges of both small (e.g., glucose, lactate, and urea) and large molecules (e.g., proteins, oligonucleotides, infectious agents, and chemical/biological threat agents) in the organism and environment through optical, electronic, thermal or magnetic mechanisms.
