Date (from‐to) : 2009 - Today
Contemporary research in the life sciences, including recent advances in genomics and proteomics, has led to the discovery of thousands of nucleotides and proteins with potential diagnostic and/or therapeutic significance. Solid-state biosensors are attracting broad interests for quick, low-cost, label-free, and sensitive detection of a wide variety of biological species including DNA, RNA, peptide, protein, virus and cell that are related to specific diseases and healing processes. The development of electrochemical biosensors will enable us to miniaturize it as a portable analytical system for use in on-site point-of-care detection. By integrating the idea of Nano/Bio-interface into electrochemistry, I realize label-free, sensitive, and selective biosensing methodology that can identify a small amount of nucleic acids, proteins, and cells that are related to cancers and diseases.
