Nanostructured Silicon-Based Wearable and Implantable Biosensors

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The aim is to gain a deep understanding of the interface between nanostructured-silicon-based nanomaterials and biological systems, to develop a new generation of biosensor technologies applied on and in the body. Using innovative nanofabrication techniques, the team will integrate porous silicon nanomaterials with highly controllable optical and electrochemical properties into wearable and implantable biosensors for detecting bioanalytes directly and continuously in interstitial fluid, sweat, and blood; critically, they will be capable of long-term monitoring. The outcomes are expected to enable development of downstream applications across medical diagnostics, sports sciences, workplace testing as well as defence and space technologies.
