Biosensor development research is the nexus of engineering and biology. The true art in Biosensors research lies in designing sensors to detect biological parameters that can vary depending upon the complexity of the living system, the genetic composition of an organism, and the external factors that influence the presence or absence of the analyte(s) of interest. Our laboratory research is focused on the integration of biomolecular recognition phenomena with sensor hardware development for detection of analytes in aqueous (water, blood) and vapor (breath) samples. Areas of application include environmental monitoring, medical diagnoses, and safety and security.
