Nanostructured Silicon-Based Wearable and Implantable Biosensors

其目的是深入了解纳米结构硅基纳米材料与生物系统之间的界面，开发应用于人体和体内的新一代生物传感器技术。利用创新的纳米制造技术，该团队将把具有高度可控光学和电化学性质的多孔硅纳米材料集成到可穿戴和可植入的生物传感器中，以直接和连续地检测间质性液体、汗液和血液中的生物分析物；关键是，它们将能够进行长期监测。预计这些成果将使医疗诊断、体育科学、工作场所测试以及国防和空间技术等下游应用的开发成为可能。

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.
