Our Mission
SensTech is a registered project team at Cornell University. We participate in the international SensUs competition, where teams from across the globe compete in the Netherlands to create the most cost-effective, user-friendly, and sensitive biosensor that can be used outside a lab.
We believe that we can provide an invaluable opportunity for students to explore biosensors, train as engineers and scientists for the real world, and enter the biosensing field for the first time.
Our Subteams
Each subteam plays a crucial role in our mission to develop innovative biosensor technology
Wet Lab
The Wet Lab subteam works in the lab to design and experiment on various ideas that could be used in the biosensor, for example, the biorecognition element. The design should be user-centric, able to recognize the analyte within a given medium in a timely manner, and have the potential to be used in a real-world setting.
Dry Lab
The Dry Lab subteam focuses on the prototyping, data analysis, fabrication, material design, and other technical aspects of the biosensor. Dry Lab will utilize Wet Lab's results and incorporate it into a physical prototype as the end result.
B&O
The B&O subteam is responsible for funding through company sponsorships, external grants, Cornell University's club funding. They also manage the team finances and spending. This subteam creates pitch decks, cost-benefit analyses, and continuously sources new ways to fund the team's research and trips.
