Four PhD students from the University of Macau’s (UM) State-Key Laboratory of Analog and Mixed-Signal VLSI (AMSV) and Faculty of Science and Technology’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), recently passed their oral defenses with flying colours.
A research team from the University of Macau (A research team from the University of Macau (UM) has achieved a new breakthrough. The team has developed a fast, accurate, and convenient point-of-care pathogen detection method with the help of the digital microfluidic system. This method uses isothermal DNA amplification together with specific DNA Molecular Beacon probe
