The main objective of the GBIO group is the development of technically fea-

sible, economically viable and clinically usable micro-nano-bio systems to

measure key parameters related to the state or evolution of a living organism

TECHNOLOGY. The key concern is the development of new technologies

substrates could be also used to fulfill specific needs because of their spe-

cial properties, such as hardness, flexibility or low cost. Alternative surface
treatments should be also developed in order to build new sensors, for im- 13
