The company's bio-sensing platform melds tiny bits of biological material with semiconductors for real time monitoring
San Diego-based Cardea Bio, which is integrating biology with modern electronics, said today it has received a $1.1 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to fund work that someday could detect infectious diseases like COVID and cancer via odor.
Computers have central processing units to run applications and graphics processing units in order to render images. Cardea has created the BPU — which it claims is the first mass-produced chip that can link tiny bits of biology with modern semiconductor electronics. “The reason why that is clever is graphene is very conductive, but it is also bio-compatible,” said Lasse Gorlitz, a spokesman for Cardea Bio. “So, it allows you to actually attach live biology to a semiconductor and make a gateway where you can see what’s going on with the biology and monitor biological events.”
Cardea Bio was founded in 2019 through the merger of Nanomedical Diagnostics and Nanosens Innovations. It has 41 employees and achieved a valuation of about $87 million in its last funding round, said Gorlitz.
