Reference number : GC-2017-Q2-00532, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Lessard, Benoit (University of Ottawa)|Lessard, Benoit (Université d’Ottawa), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Ontario, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for Universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : This proposal will support the new collaboration between Spartan Bioscience Inc. a nanotech company from_x000D_
Ottawa, Ontario and the Lessard research group at the University of Ottawa. Spartan's technology fully_x000D_
integrates DNA collection, extraction and analysis, with an intuitive interface that is easy to operate. The_x000D_
company has interests in exploring new sensors for DNA detection to ultimately reduce costs and increase_x000D_
profitability. Spartan Bioscience Inc. is interested in the possibility of applying printed electronics as a route to_x000D_
improve their system, however the majority of the R & D department is focused on the existing technology_x000D_
development and lack the expertise required to fully evaluate this emerging technology. The Lessard research_x000D_
group has experience in organic electronic sensor fabrication and characterization that can validate the use of_x000D_
organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) as a possible sensing route for single stranded DNA. The results from this_x000D_
engagement would further illustrate the potential of OTFT based DNA sensors and the use of printed electronic_x000D_
devices and help design the next generation DNA testing system., program purpose french : This proposal will support the new collaboration between Spartan Bioscience Inc. a nanotech company from_x000D_
