4.9 Tiny Tech, Big Impact: The World of Biosensors – w/ Martin, Katja & Rhiannon

Have you ever wondered how a COVID-19 or flu test works? Or how these types of biosensors are made? Join us as we dive into the fascinating world of biosensors and uncover why these tiny devices are revolutionizing healthcare and technology. In this episode, we explore the critical role of biosensors in monitoring health, the profound impact of the pandemic on their development and use, and the intricate challenges in making them both specific and sensitive. We'll also discuss the highly competitive landscape where only a few innovative ideas survive to become successful commercial products. Tune in to understand the science, the struggles, and the future potential of biosensors.

Your hosts this week are Rhiannon Newman & Katja Kaurinkoski
