The diagnosis and management of diabetes requires accurate and\u00a0convenient monitoring of blood glucose levels by glucose sensors, which account for about 85%\u00a0of the entire biosensor market. The objective of this work is to design, fabricate and test a prototype implantable glucose sensor with longer service life, improved stability and higher sensitivity by using an advanced polymeric material, which is recently developed in my lab. I believe this new material can solve many long-standing problems of implantable glucose sensors.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Cheng is an Assistant Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at The University of Akron.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Research for Lunch with Dr. Gang Cheng Design, Fabrication and Testing of a Long Service Life Implantable Glucose Sensor for Diabetes Management Monday, March 14, 2016 Whitby Hall, Room 211, 12-1 pm Diabetes is one of the leading causes of &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/researchnewsinfo\/2016\/03\/04\/research-for-lunch-presentation\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2334,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[185],"tags":[21155],"class_list":["post-38727","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-announcements","tag-research-for-lunch"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/researchnewsinfo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38727","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/researchnewsinfo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/researchnewsinfo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/researchnewsinfo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2334"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/researchnewsinfo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38727"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/researchnewsinfo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38727\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38731,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/researchnewsinfo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38727\/revisions\/38731"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/researchnewsinfo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38727"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/researchnewsinfo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38727"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/researchnewsinfo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
