Description
The
specific objective of the In vivo Nanoplatforms for
Diagnostics (IVN:Dx) thrust of the In vivo Nanoplatforms (IVN) program is to develop biocompatible nanosensors that provide continuous, noninvasive, and
highly accurate measurement of a variety of conditions and substances within
the living tissue of animals, plants, and insects using non-toxic materials
with limited immunogenicity. These sensors will permit qualitative and
quantitative assessment over large concentration ranges of both small (e.g.,
glucose, lactate, and urea) and large molecules (e.g., proteins,
oligonucleotides, infectious agents, and chemical/biological threat agents) in
the organism and environment through optical, electronic, thermal or magnetic
mechanisms. See full DARPA-BAA-12-33 attached.
