Development of advanced technological solutions for in vitro diagnosis: Biosensor for nucleic acid and proteins

Development of advanced technological solutions for in vitro diagnosis using miniaturized and high performance biosensors for nucleic acids and proteins that can also be used by unskilled personnel at competitive costs. The following classes of biosensor technologies are investigated:

  • Optical sensors: based on SPAD (Single Photon Avalanche Diode) detector, SPRI (Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging) and SERS (Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy ) analytical methods, Real Time PCR (Polimerase Chain Reaction) and Phage Display biotechnologies;
  • Electrical sensors: based on MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor), FET – CNTs (Field Effect Transistor – Carbon Nanotubes), capacitive-inductive and nano-clusters technologies;
  • Electro-mechnical sensors: based on Nanobeams and MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical-System) technologies;
