SUMMARY:Biosensors for point of use applications - Christian Reccius\, Phi
 lips Research Labs
DTSTART:20101202T180000Z

CONTACT:Neil Johnson
DESCRIPTION:This talk will highlight several Philips biosensing technologi
 es which we envisage will move patient diagnosis from the hospital into th
 e home and to the Point-of-Care (PoC). Earlier diagnosis will allow medica
 l staff to respond quicker in emergencies\, improve the medical outcomes a
 nd thereby reduce healthcare costs. Similarly important is the fact that p
 atients will experience improved quality of life with fewer disturbances t
 o their routine. Applications of the discussed technologies are not limite
 d to the healthcare market but can also be found in the lifestyle area.\n\
 n"Dr. Christian Reccius is a Senior Scientist at Philips Research Cambridg
 e. Coming from a physics background he has worked for 12 years on biomedic
 al device topics\, including the areas of Neuron-Silicon-Hybrid Chips\, Na
 nobiotechnology\, Impedance Spectroscopy and Microfluidics. Since 2006 he 
 is working for Philips Research UK\, focusing on Point-of-Care Blood Analy
 sis as well as alternative applications for microfluidic biosensors.\n\nPh
 ilips Research Cambridge was established in 2008\, and aims to combine the
  local high-tech know-how with Philips' strengths as a leader in Health an
 d Well-being. It is an interdisciplinary group\, with expertise in electro
 nics\, physics\, chemistry\, biology\, mathematics and bio-informatics wit
 h a strong focus on open innovation and the facilitation of external colla
 borations."
