Molecular Biosensors for Medical Diagnostics (MBx)

 

Welcome to the pages of the group Molecular Biosensors for Medical Diagnostics.

We investigate nanotechnologies for biophysical studies which have potential to be applied in integrated medical biosensors.

We presently focus on technologies based on the manipulation and detection of particles with a biochemically active surface coating. The particles allow us to capture and actively transport biological materials, to control and detect the formation of biomolecular bonds, and to quantify the properties of molecules and cells in samples of complex biochemical composition.
