Research Projects

The Centre for Printable Electronics (CPE) is advancing healthcare technology through cutting-edge research in printable and flexible electronic systems. Our current projects are focusing on:

1. Biosensors for Glucose Monitoring: 

- CPE is developing non-invasive, printed biosensors designed to monitor glucose levels through interstitial fluid (ISF).

These biosensors aim to provide a low-cost, minimally invasive alternative to traditional blood glucose testing, improving comfort and compliance for diabetic patients.

2. Flexible Electronic Circuits: 

- Using conductive inks and flexible substrates, we create bendable and stretchable electronic circuits. These circuits are integral to next-generation wearable devices, enabling real-time physiological monitoring and seamless integration with the human body.

3. 3D-Printed Microneedles: 

- CPE is also pioneering the use of 3D printing to fabricate microneedle arrays for painless drug delivery and biofluid sampling. These microneedles offer a minimally invasive method for continuous health monitoring and targeted therapeutic delivery, with potential applications in diabetes management, vaccination, and diagnostics.
