Electrochemical sensor for rapid acrylamide detection in drinking water
Low-cost electrochemical sensor using waste coffee ground-derived electrodes modified with metallo-porphyrins for rapid screening of acrylamide in drinking water. The patented flexographic printing technology enables mul...
Mixed-methods cognitive enhancer research combining user insights, social listening, and computational predictions
A research collaboration exploring cognitive effects of caffeine and nootropics through integrated surveys, focus groups, social media analysis, and in silico molecular modeling. The team seeks to generate evidence-based...
Next-Generation AI Platform for At-Home Biomarker Detection
We have developed a patented AI-enhanced rapid diagnostic platform that combines lateral-flow testing with intelligent image analysis to accurately interpret biomarkers from consumer-accessible biological samples. Our te...
Portable Pancreatic Cancer Detection Device Using Urinary Biomarkers
We are developing a handheld at-home diagnostic device for early pancreatic cancer detection using urine samples. The device uses a graphene nanowire biosensor to detect disease-associated biomarkers and provides rapid, ...
Kagawea NutrientScan: Real-time digital reader for at-home nutrient testing
Kagawea NutrientScan is a patented digital reader that enhances lateral flow tests for micronutrient detection, offering real-time video visualizations in fluorescence-like contrast. It is portable, user-friendly, and pr...
Selective internalisation of Pep1 peptide into PDAC cells via IL-13Rα2
A novel therapeutic approach targeting pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) using Pep1, a peptide that selectively binds to IL-13Rα2, facilitating cellular internalisation and offering potential for more effective tre...
Water-Washable Bioderived Pectin Oxygen Barrier Coatings
A sustainable, bioderived pectin-based oxygen barrier coating for flexible food packaging. This water-washable technology significantly reduces oxygen transmission rates in PET films, offering a recyclable alternative to...
Fungal-derived volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for soil biofumigation
Researchers at Swansea University have developed a sustainable biofumigation technology using volatile organic compounds from the fungus Metarhizium brunneum. These compounds effectively repel or eliminate soil pests lik...
