Diamond-based sensors – technology with a European patent that could revolutionise medical diagnostics

somebody
Prof. Robert Bogdanowicz's team from the Department of Optoelectronics at the Gdańsk University of Technology has been granted exclusive rights to innovative electrodes using nanodiamonds by the European Patent Office. This is one of the few patents of this kind in Europe. At the same time, another patent application – concerning optical sensors with quantum colour centres – has been approved. Both technologies may have a significant impact on the future of medical diagnostics.

The patent protects a solution that scientists at the Gdańsk University of Technology have been working on for three years – a double-layer electrode, which combines a 3D-printed graphene-polymer matrix composite with an ultra-thin nanodiamond film. Why is it so important?

[UPDATE 12.01.] Information regarding decisions - rector's scholarship

[UPDATE 12.01.2026]

Delivery of the decision resumed this evening. The process may continue until the end of the week. Thank you for your understanding.

Dear Students,

We would like to inform you that due to temporary technical difficulties in Moja PG system, the delivery process of decisions regarding the rector's scholarship has been extended. Therefore, decisions will not be delivered before the Christmas break. We plan to resume delivery immediately after the issue is resolved, most likely after January 8, 2026.

Artificial intelligence increasing the chances of early detection of brain aneurysms

tumor
Intracranial aneurysms may not cause any symptoms for years, and their rupture often has dramatic consequences – up to half of patients die, and many have permanent neurological problems. A team of scientists from the Gdańsk University of Technology, the Medical University of Gdańsk and the University Clinical Centre in Gdańsk is working on a solution that could radically increase the chances of detecting the threat before an aneurysm ruptures and haemorrhages. Artificial intelligence analysing clinical data plays a key role here.

Data instead of scalpels – a paradigm shift in diagnostics

The project aims to create a tool that will enable the risk of aneurysm and its rupture to be assessed on the basis of laboratory data, medical history and descriptions from medical records.
