Biosensors
Reaching the nanometer scale with technology brought new possibilities in biomedical engineering. We are continuously looking for nanoscale phenomena in physics, chemistry and biology to come up with new concepts that can be used for biosensing and diagnostics. Currently we focus on electronic biosensing with nanochannels, nanopipettes, microelectrode arrays and lateral flow assays.
