Biosensors and diagnostics
We are widely recognised as world leaders in the field of biosensors, especially for translating fundamental research, through technical transfer, to exploitation. Areas in which post-graduate research training is offered include:
- Integrated biosensors for health monitoring
- Development of synthetic receptors (MIPs) for sensors
- Sensors for clinical applications and near patient monitoring
- Micro-electrodes based on electro-analytical chemistry
- DNA based biosensors
- Microarrays for detection of life in extreme environments
- Broader health and well-being issues include diagnostics in food; for natural toxins, quality and traceability markers as well as pesticide/heavy metal detection
- Real-time volatiles analyses for health applications
- Optical non-invasive imaging diagnostics techniques with applications in medicine, biology, food and health care.
