Cardiologist’s ‘living chip’ changes science of disease monitoring

University of Rochester Medical Center cardiologist Spencer Rosero, M.D. is developing implantable biosensors to create a “biological chip.”
When implanted, this chip can detect physiologic and chemical changes with faster, improved accuracy.
For a patient with heart failure, for example, the biosensor could detect a change in blood protein levels at an early stage, prompting the physician to alter medications to correct the problem.
