BiosensUM Here!

We are an interdisciplinary team of Canadian undergraduate and graduate students from both University of Montreal and Polytechnique Montréal. Our team members have diverse academic backgrounds such as chemistry, physics, immunology, biochemistry, software and biomedical engineering. Our coach is Ryma Bourdries, a former co-captain of SensUs 2022, and our supervisor is Pr. Jean-François Masson, full professor at the University of Montreal’s chemistry department.

This year's theme is particularly exciting because kidney injuries impact a significant part of the population and a continuous sensor to monitor interstitial levels of creatinine can have a huge positive effect on patients' daily lives. The real-world relevance and the international aspect of this project drive and motivate our team to develop an innovative diagnostic device. We truly believe that through competitions that promote innovation and learning, we can have a beneficial impact on the world.
