Next-Generation DNA-Based Biomedical Sensors
Our goal is to develop paradigm-shifting electronic biosensors to detect neurochemicals released in the brain and biomarkers in clinically relevant human fluids. These novel biosensors will help us answer relevant neuroscience questions and tackle human health concerns.
The Laboratory of Biosensors and Bioelectronics (LBB), at the Institute for Biomedical Engineering has continuously contributed to the advancement of numerous optical and electronic biosensing with over 50 publications. Our team strives to understand the technological and biological challenges associated with biosensing when aiming for personalized medicine and diverse biomedical applications. In this project, our goal is to integrate state-of-the-art DNA-based biological receptors termed aptamers with high specificity for important biomarkers, into novel electronic platforms. These sensors will perform biosensing in clinically relevant fluids such as human blood samples and neural culture fluids. Students working on these multidisciplinary projects will be part of a very supportive environment with access to all the resources and equipment necessary to conduct exciting new science.
