HSAFE · Innovative high-sensitivity avalanche field-effect transistors designed for cancer diagnosis

Lines connect the coordinator with its partners.

Project objective

The focus of the HSAFE project, which aligns with the specific objectives of the Marie Curie SE-2024 call, is to develop an ultrasensitive diagnostic tool necessary for the identification and detection of lung and lymphoma cancer cells at an earlier stage of development. Early detection significantly increases the chances of a complete cure for the patient. The project proposes to produce a new biosensor based on an avalanche FET array and innovative 2D materials to overcome some disadvantages of traditional cancer detection methods, such as being time-consuming, expensive, and lacking in sensitivity and specificity. The successful implementation of the project will be ensured by sharing the experience and knowledge gained in the fields of physics, technology, and engineering in a coordinated manner. Strengthening modern knowledge in the field of sensors and applying modern technological approaches and methods will be achieved through the international cooperation of highly qualified scientists and engineers from Azerbaijan, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Portugal, Poland, Turkey, and Ukraine. This consortium will address both technological (e.g., micro-sized sensor design, biosensor reader production) and fundamental (e.g., innovative material synthesis, internal avalanche amplification mechanisms of ultra-weak signals, biomarker immobilization process) issues.
