MEMS and Nanotechnology have enabled label-free and scalable detection of biologically significant molecules such as DNA, RNA, proteins and small molecules whose detection in small quantities is of paramount importance for early disease diagnostics. Current research areas include :
1) Development of nanomechanical and optical biosensors and their application to detection of a variety of proteins including cancer markers
2) Novel receptor molecules and their integration into biosensing
3) Biosensing using nanoparticles
4) Rapid detection of pathogens and
5) Sensitivity enhancement of biosensors.
The work is currently supported by NSF and NASA.
