Point-of-care, electronic detection of pathogenic bacteria using redox-active biomarkers

Probe molecule with underlying electronic circuitry

This project invested in developing new sophisticated, label-free electronic sensor arrays with the potential to accelerate biomarker discovery, facilitate early diagnosis, transfer clinical testing to point-of-care and provide the multiplexed, high-sensitivity diagnostics required for personalized and stratified medicine. In collaboration with colleagues at the University of Leeds, a novel, biocompatible self-assembled monolayer (SAM) has been produced that enables the integration of functional probe-molecules, such as antibodies, with underlying electronic circuitry. The project also evolved a new approach for monitoring molecular interactions electronically.
