Nanotechnology for hybrid biosensing and optoelectronic systems and devices

该项目有两个主要重点。一种是用生物受体（例如，适体、蛋白质），然后将它们组装成FET传感器，以开发即时生物传感平台，该平台可能用于监测创伤诱导和急性创伤性凝血病。同时，本研究也将致力于研究复合生物传感器的传感机理。另一种方法是将不同的纳米材料（0 D ~2D）组装成具有DNA接头的混合维异质结构，以研究当DNA接头的长度变化时其电子和光电性质的开关。该研究将涵盖纳米材料的合成和功能化（例如，SWCNT、石墨烯、hBN、MoS 2），以及纳米器件的组装和测试，用于开发纳米级生物传感和光电子系统。

This project has two main focuses. One is functionalizing the DNA-wrapped SWCNT transducers with the bio-receptors (e.g., aptamers, proteins) and then assembling them as FET sensors to develop a point-of-care biosensing platform, which could be potentially used in monitoring Trauma Induced and Acute Traumatic Coagulopathy. In the meantime, the research will also focus on investigating the sensing mechanism of the hybrid biosensors. Another approach is assembling different nanomaterials (0D~2D) as mixed-dimensional heterostructures with DNA linkers to investigate the switch of their electronic and optoelectronic properties when varying the length of the DNA linker. The research will span on synthesis and functionalization of nanomaterials (e.g., SWCNT, graphene, hBN, MoS2), and the assembly and test of nano-devices, for developing nanoscale biosensing and optoelectronics systems.
