报告摘要
Over the past forty years advances in sensor and associated technologies have lead to widely available and generally well accepted continuous glucose monitors (CGM's) that are advancing the management of diabetes. The current generation of CGM's are also being adopted by otherwise healthy individuals to gain greater insight into their personalised responses to changes in diet and lifestyle more generally. This take-up of what were originally purely medical devices follows similar transitions to consumer products such as watches that measure SpO2, heart rate or ECG.
Both the clinical and consumer advances in CGM therefore pose the questions of what other molecular biomarkers could be measured through the transdermal route and what technological developments are necessary to achieve this.
In this presentation I will describe one particular approach in detail, that of using microneedles, and highlight both the progress so far as well as the challenges remaining.

Winner of the “Qiming Plan” of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee in 2023
Research interests are in the field of analytical biotechnology, including the use of molecular engineering and design for the production of new reagents for both biosensors and bioassays, and the microfabrication of device structures;
Pioneered the use of synthetic electron transport media in enzyme biosensors, and the work in this field led to the development of the first electronic blood glucose measurement system, which was industrialized by MediSense Company Limited (now Abbott Diagnostics);
Published over 150 papers and edited 3 books and is on the editorial boards of Nanobioscience and IET Proceedings Nanobiotechnology.
