Biomimetic Bio-Nano Engineering Laboratory

Research

Bio-Nano technology

Research topic

Nanotechnology is the technology that manipulates materials in range from the nanometer (nm, 10-9) to the micrometer (μm, 10-6) scale. Bio-nanotechnology is the convergence of biology and nanotechnology to solve the biological problems.

Project

Nanoparticle-mediated DNA Biosensor

Research Objectives

  • Nanoparticle surface localized amplification (nSLAM) of genetic material for improved amplification efficiency and amplicon collection.
  • Pairing of nSLAM with electrochemical detection (ECD) for rapid and ultrasensitive identification of coronavirus genetic material.
  • Multiplex detection of SARS-CoV-2 Variants using isothermal amplification of genetic material and mutational primer design.
