(University of Pittsburgh) Bioengineers at the University of Pittsburgh have developed a new method of using synthetic DNA called 'aptamers' to view the effect of cocaine on the brain in real-time with a much higher resolution than other techniques. Dr. Tracy Cui is principal investigator for a two-year, $421,185 new study titled "Dual Polymer Coatings for High Fidelity and Stable In Vivo Cocaine Sensing From MEAs." Funding comes from a R21 Exploratory/Development grant from the National Institutes of Health National Institute on Drug Abuse.
