SUMMARY:Improving the performance metrics of biosensors using new materials

DESCRIPTION:Improving the performance metrics of biosensors using new mater
 ialsLeyla SoleymaniDepartment of Engineering PhysicsSchool of Biomedical E
 ngineeringMcMaster University
\nAbstract: Since its commercialization in t
 he 1980s\, the glucose biosensor has played a vital role in patient-center
 ed management of diabetes. Motivated by this success\, there is a major re
 search effort towards developing a wide range of handheld biosensors for h
 ealth monitoring and disease management. In this talk\, I will provide an 
 overview of the scientific and technological challenges behind biosensor d
 evelopment. I will then discuss the progress made in our lab in creating n
 anoscale and multi lengthscale materials systems towards addressing the ch
 allenges related to biosensor sensitivity and specificity\, as well as tec
 hnical challenges related to the fabrication and miniaturization of biosen
 sors. Finally\, I will demonstrate the development of biosensing assays fo
 r the detection of proteins\, small molecules\, and nucleic acids for poin
 t-of-care diagnostics.
\nBio: Leyla Soleymani obtained her PhD degree in E
 lectrical Engineering from the University of Toronto in 2010\, and she is 
 currently Associate Professor at the Department of Engineering Physics and
  the School of Biomedical Engineering at McMaster University. She is curre
 ntly the Canada Research Chair in Miniaturized Biomedical Devices\, and sh
 e is working towards making new materials and methods for creating point-o
 f-care and continuous monitoring biosensors.

 leymani\, we can visit her Lab web page.
