The Graduate School announced Michigan Tech’s Summer 2025 Finishing Fellows. Please congratulate Chemical Engineering student Grace Dykstra on this amazing accomplishment!
Grace Dykstra began her Ph.D. journey at Michigan Technological University with a desire to make health care more accessible through low-cost, reliable diagnostics. Her research focuses on developing molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) biosensors — customizable, shelf-stable devices designed as alternatives to traditional antibody-based systems. By tailoring the polymerization conditions and integrating nanomaterials, she aims to enhance the sensitivity and stability of these sensors for use in point-of-care applications.
