This project develops surfaces that can selectively recognize pathogens, inspired by the carbohydrate-rich layers on mammalian cells. By creating polymer brushes that mimic these layers, the project aims to enable rapid detection of water-borne and respiratory pathogens for diagnostic applications.
Surfaces with the capacity for selective recognition of particular pathogens would offer great potential in a number of biomedical applications, including diagnostic devices.
Mammalian cells are decorated with a carbohydrate-rich layer, the glycocalyx, which facilitates cellular recognition.
Carbohydrate-binding proteins can interact with these sugar motifs to facilitate highly selective recognition, a strategy which is exploited by many viral and bacterial pathogens.
