COLLEGE PARK, Md.
Tne University of Maryland graduate student’s research could save lives by saving time. Angela Hodge Miller, who is pursuing her Ph.D. in electrical engineering, is working to develop chemical sensors capable of performing selective determination of compounds in fluids such as blood, urine and saliva. In addition to being useful in the clinical analysis process, the array of biosensors being developed by the young scientist “will be capable of performing on-chip, real-time self diagnostics,” she says.
