    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a platform for cellular interfacing, the platform being manufactured over a predetermined bulk substrate, the method being a top-down method.
    According to the invention, such a method comprises the following steps in order:



    creating (E10) vertical nanowires over the bulk substrate;
    depositing (E30) a Si layer
    creating (E40) the access lines for accessing the nanowires;
    selective silicidation (E50) of the access lines and of the nanowires;
    metal structuring (E60) of the access lines;
    depositing (E60) an insulating layer for liquid measurement;
    selective removal (E70) of the insulating layer on the nanoprobes.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for detecting an infectious transmission in a population, the method being characterised in that it comprises implementing, by data processing means (20) of a client (2), steps of: (b) for a plurality of infectious agent isolates, each associated with an individual of said population, obtaining a vector with values descriptive of the isolate; (c) for each pair of a first isolate (X) and a second isolate (Y) of the plurality, respectively associated with a first individual and a second individual of said population: (c1) calculating a first number of isolates (n(X)) corresponding to the number of isolates of said plurality having a distance to the first isolate (X) less than or equal to a reference distance between the first and second isolates (X, Y), and a second number of isolates (n(Y)) corresponding to the number of isolates of said plurality having a distance to the second isolate (Y) less than or equal to said reference distance between the first and second isolates (X, Y), each distance between two isolates being representative of a dissimilarity between the vectors of values descriptive of these two isolates; (c2) estimating a probability (TXY) of direct infectious transmission between the first and second individuals as a function of said first and second number of isolates (n(X), n(Y)); (d) detecting or not detecting an infectious transmission in said population as a function of the estimated probabilities (TXY) of direct infectious transition between each pair of individuals.
