Micro and nanotechnologies has paved the way for the development of novel devices able to detect biological cues from biological samples. Besides the design, fabrication and characterization of sensors and biosensors, we are also interested in its integration in microfluidic biosystems and organ on a chip devices.
In particular, we are developing nanostructures to explore the capabilities of (opto-) mechanical sensing by means of plasmonic or colorimetric response and the development of innovative designs for electrochemical sensing. In fact, we are focused on its integration next to the cell cultures that are present in an organ on a chip device.
