The project DIANA,
"DIAgnostic potential of disorder: development of an innovative
NAnostructured platform for rapid, label-free and low-cost analysis
of genomic DNA"
has been financed by Regione Lazio
Progetti di Gruppi di ricerca
call 2020.
The project aims to
develop reliable, quick, and label-free
diagnostic techniques for genomic DNA
using Raman analysis of target molecules directly deposited
on nanostructured substrates.
To this end the peculiarities of the mechanical interaction between
silver-coated silicon nanowires and the DNA molecules will be
exploited.
