 We all know the fruit fly, but what if I tell you it shares more than 75 percent genes with human? And that we are we can actually use it as model to study neurodegenerative diseases quite impressive, huh? Neurodegenerative diseases as considered as public health issues and That's because it affects more than 50 million people worldwide and it costs more than 1,600 billion dollars. That's a lot of money and Studies point out higher risk in elderly people But no one eats immune to these diseases But what we are talking about when we refer to neurodegenerative Neurodegenerative diseases it means the loss of neurons in a specific part of the brain So Parkinson is considered the second most common neurodegenerative disease And it's related with the loss of dopamine neurons The problem is if we want to to monitor dopamine release There is a lack of techniques that we can use to do it in real time And that's our wall So in my research what we are trying to do is to develop a technique that can monitor Dopamine in real time and for that we are planning to combine the electrical properties of dopamine with the latest nanotechnological approaches So the project I'm working in it's called the Adam and it's aimed to develop implantable electrochemical Platforms with coatings that are specific for dopamine and for that I'm using carbon fiber Microelectrodes that for you to have an idea have the size 1,000 is smaller than the hair and Also by your recognition elements so-called aptamers that is known they bind specifically and tightly to their target analyte and I have results to show you that this system this idea actually works and it works also in biological media and Somehow the aptamer works like the key that opens the door and let only dopamine to go through while the rest of the species get locked out So the platform that we have developed Has all these features that you can see here that are actually the required for an implantable sensor So by transferring this technology into the fruit fly we can actually Understand much better dopamine neurotransmission in the brain and therefore break the wall of brain analysis.
