Bernard J. Van Wie, Ph.D.
Biosensing

A primary focus of Dr. Van Wie and his group is the study of new and better biosensors and bioanalytical platforms. Since completing a sabbatical at the Naval Research Laboratory in 2000-01, he has begun a collaboration to create hand-held and rapid-sensing devices for identifying and quantifying minute concentrations of persistent toxins in lakes and streams, of metabolites in the human body for disease diagnosis, and of antibodies, other products, and metabolites in cell culture processes for understanding the immune response and cell differentiation.
