Topic 1: Electrochemical Sensor Interface

        We are developing electrochemical sensors to monitor important analytes  related to various fields, including clinical diagnosis, environmental monitoring, and food safety. Most of the analytes are dispersed in complex aqueous media, requiring advanced sensing interface to ensure adequate selectivity and sensitivity.
    For example, we are highly motivated in developing electrochemical sensors for various inorganic cations (e.g. sodium, potassium, calcium, lead ions.), anions (fluoride, chloride, carbonate, etc.), therapeutic drugs, protein biomarkers, etc.
    To improve selectivity and sensitivity, advanced host-guest / lock-and-key concepts will be utilized to create the sensor interface, with ionophore, molecularly imprinted polymers, antibodies, aptamers, identified as the key sensing components.
     We are also actively seeking opportunities to expand the impact of our sensors by collaborating with industrial partners.
