  U.S. and U.K. Governments announced winners of Global Innovation Initiative (GII) recently. Dr. Lv Min from CAS Key Laboratory of Low-Carbon Conversion and Engineering of SARI is one of the awardees. Multilateral university partnerships of Yale University, Heriot-Watt University and SARI applied for the program under the topic of Increasing the efficiency of CO2 conversion to liquid fuels. In the following three years, SARI will work closely with Yale University and Heriot-Watt University on the research of high-efficiency reactor and its 3D printing. 
  The Global Innovation Initiative is funded by the UK and U.S. governments to foster multilateral research collaboration with higher education institutions in Brazil, China, India and Indonesia to address global challenges, in keeping with the vision of U.S. President Barack Obama and UK Prime Minister David Cameron’s joint statements in 2011 and 2012.
  Dr. Lv Min obtained her doctorate from Imperial College London in 2015. Currently, she works as assistant researcher at CAS Key Laboratory of Low-Carbon Conversion and Engineering in the field of reactive engineering research, including micro / nano efficient reactor and 3D printing research as well as other major R & D projects.

Prof. Mi Xianqiang’s Team Publishes New Findings in Biosensors and Bioelectronics

Biosensor is an important tool for clinical detection, genetic analysis, environmental monitoring, biological terror and national security defense. Recently, researchers have developed a new type of Electrochemical DNA (E-DNA) sensor, which can achieve sensitive detection of target DNA. The result has been published in Biosensors and Bioelectronics


  Biosensor is an important tool for clinical detection, genetic analysis, environmental monitoring, biological terror and national security defense. Recently, researchers from Shanghai Advanced Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences (SARI-CAS) have developed a new type of Electrochemical DNA (E-DNA) sensor, which can achieve sensitive detection of target DNA. The result has been published in Biosensors and Bioelectronics (2015), pp.434-438.
  In the work led by Prof. Mi Xianqiang, Dr. Zeng dongdong and other researchers worked with researchers from Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics, CAS to demonstrate a novel strategy of E-DNA sensor based on DNA tetrahedral nanostructures for the sensitive detection of target DNA. The biotin-tagged three dimensional DNA tetrahedral nanostructures were employed for efficient signal amplification by capturing multiple catalytic enzymes. Such improved E-DNA sensor can sensitively detect DNA target as low as 1 fM with excellent differentiation ability for even single mismatch. Results indicated that the RTSPs-based enzyme amplification system showed much better performance than the other two typical methods, which are single-stranded DNA (SSDNA) and gold nanoparticles (GNPs). 
  The project was funded by 2013 Innovation Action Plan of Science and Technology Commission of Shanghai Municipality and SARI’s Science Fund for Outstanding Young Researchers.
