TU Eindhoven Sensing Team
Innovating Healthcare using Biosensors
Infolunch
Are you interested to join T.E.S.T. 2024-2025? Or would you like to know more about T.E.S.T. in general? Join our infolunch! We will talk about the ins and outs of being a member of T.E.S.T. and answer any questions you might have. It will be held on the 14th of October from 12.30-13.30 and free pizza will be provided!

About us
We are the TU/e sensing team (T.E.S.T.) representing the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in the annual SensUs Competition. This is an international student competition aimed at innovation in the field of medical biosensors. The competition consists of four categories in which the teams can compete for awards. For more information about the SensUs competition, click here.
Our multidisciplinary team currently consists of 8 bachelor and master students, from Medical Science and Technology, Biomedical Engineering, Data Science and Applied Physics. We all come from different backgrounds, with our own interests and goals, and we will make sure to be a synergistic team ready to compete and contribute to an improvement of people’s quality of life.
This competition allows us to put our theoretical knowledge to the test and apply it to real-life societal problems, engineering an efficient, affordable and easy-to-use biosensor with translational potential for the commercial market.
At the end of August 2024, our team will compete with others from all over the world to detect the biomarker creatinine, which is a marker for detecting kidney failure. This is a disease that influences many. Patients suffer from various different symptoms like cramps, extreme tiredness, nausea and confusion. It is important that these patients get the right and best treatment for them, which is why we are eager to work on the development of a continuous biosensor for creatinine.
