$1.5M NSF grant to launch AI-designed #biosensor #research project UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — To enhance biosensor development via artificial intelligence (AI) and offer STEM education opportunities to K-12 students from underserved communities, the U.S. National Science Foundation recently awarded researchers at Penn State a three-year, $1.5 million grant.  The project is supported through the Designing Materials to Revolutionize and Engineer our Future (DMREF) program and seeks to address a longstanding challenge in the biosensor research: the inability to systematically identify the best materials for biosensors detecting specific molecules. These small devices are essential tools in diagnosing diseases, detecting harmful substances and identifying environmental contaminants. However, the process of developing biosensors is often time-consuming and inefficient.  Image: Via a close collaboration among experimental scientists and computational scientists and academic, industry and government entities, the grant aims to use AI to enhance biosensor development. Credit: Aida Ebrahimi. All Rights Reserved. https://lnkd.in/ehtv7RSf https://lnkd.in/eth_hKSn
