Projects

The project aims to revolutionise biosensors and point-of-care testing devices by developing sensor arrays using Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs) as biomimetic receptors for multiplex and/or simultaneous detection of targets that are of significant interest to clinical and environmental health. MIPs offer several advantages over traditional biological recognition elements in being more stable, cost-effective, and reproducible, making them ideal for low-cost and fast recognition of clinically relevant biomarkers and environmental pollutants in complex matrices. We will develop novel synthesis approaches for MIP-based sensor arrays that are affordable and scalable, allowing for the production of large quantities of sensors at low cost. Our innovative approach has the potential to establish a new generation of analytical tools that will significantly improve public health and safety, particularly in critical industries such as healthcare and environmental monitoring.
