      Mine would be a label free biosensor to detect pancreatic cancer. And another one to detect viruses.

      I once made a light sensitive gel that was controlled by white light and could be used as a valve. So when the gel was in the dark it could trap water in a small reservoir and when light was shone on it the interaction of the light made the gel shrink and allowed the water to pass through into another chamber.
      It was a simple idea but hard to carry out so I was very happy the day it started to work!
