I didn't know you're working on that, too.
Yeah, yeah, no.
So I just wanted to make sure that people who are listening, watching, realize that even though this ingenious work on the sensor, continuous sensor of proteins, it's just one part of a multifaceted approach that you're taking that are pretty unique, pretty impressive.
Now, let's go back to the principal topic, which is
the ability to track a protein or proteins in a person on a continuous basis in real time, reporting to that individual if there's something that's off track.
This came about, it seems to me, in part because of interdisciplinary expertise.
You have yourself a chemistry and biomedical engineering background at the leading institutions in the country.
So you think of things differently.
And then you probably have a team that does that.
You have people coming from different.
I mean, when you crack this case, which, you know, was only something you could imagine.
some years ago.
Do you think that this was the key that you just, because you have a fusion of different areas of biomedical expertise?
Well, it certainly shows.
Now, are you aware of any other group around the world that has done work like this where, you know, without reagents, little electricity shaking off the protein to be able to assay it?
I mean, this is something that I haven't heard elsewhere besides, is there any other group that's onto it now?
Okay.
is a good way to put it.
And we're talking about nanoscale, nanotechnology.
And a lot of people have been wondering, when is nanotechnology going to change my life and my health?
