- This is the first report of a thermal sensor that can detect E. coli to determine urine infections. The work was highlighted in the spotlight of ACS Chemical Research in Toxicology (http://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acs.chemrestox.7b00140) and involved a UK/Belgium/Dutch collaboration. It was the direct outcome of a C1 project “Smart Cellular Scaffolds C14/15/067) from KU Leuven and van Grinsven was awarded the Edmund Hustinx prize (worth €15,000 for research impact) for these results. The use of thermal waves for bacterial detection is a breakthrough since it reduces measurement time to 2 min, and led to patent application EP15194837.
