1. Biochips Joseph Cullen BME 281

2. History 1980- Walter Gilbert discovered DNA sequencing 1983- Kary Mullis worked to detect DNA through lab tests 1986- Leroy Hood discovered florescent-based DNA sequencing

3. What is a Biochip Array of different chemicals and proteins Each in its own dot on the chip Used to run multiple tests simultaneously Dot depend on the kind of test

4. Uses Research Forensics Diagnosis Identification

5. Process DNA sample taken DNA put over chip cDNA and DNA on the chip match up The chip is then scanned Hooked up to a computer, which uses equations to determine the likeliness of the sickness

6. Benefits Quicker Diagnosis

7. Concerns Identity implants

8. Future Be able to find the exact diagnosis through just using Biochip technology Ability to diagnose and treat more people in third world countries Low cost tests
