A patented method for single biomolecule detection that overcomes limitations of current technologies may help in the fight against COVID-19. Purdue University innovators created a method that uses a special sensor similar to a computer chip. The application-specific integrated circuit chip is designed for the early detection of a number of pathogens and viruses.

To commemorate the 120th anniversary of the College of Engineering, the Dean’s Doctoral Fellowship was created and recently has been awarded to two incoming graduate students in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

More than one-third of the people in the United States who have epilepsy are at risk for a deadly complication called “sudden unexpected death in epilepsy.” That means 1.2 million people are at risk for the complication each year – and it will kill about 4,000 of them. They typically have refractory epilepsy, which means medicines do not bring their seizures under control.
