Nanoscale bio(medical)sensors
Abstract
Nanotechnology brought new possibilities for sensing bio(medical) signals. In this talk, I will introduce three examples that address various sensing applications:
First, counting and identifying single biomolecules inside living cells using the nanopore FluidFM will be presented.
Then molography, a new concept based on coherent scattering at nanoscale bioaffinity patterns, will be introduced. Molography enables label-free biosensing in the “noisy” environment of real biological samples.
Finally, in vivo strain sensing using stretchable bioelectronics with nanowires embedded in elastomers will be discussed.
His research interests include nanotechnology based approaches to bio(medical)sensing, implanted stretchable bioelectronics, and bottom-up neuroscience.
