“Bioelectrocatalytic lab on chip device for infection biomarker monitoring”
Viruses can easily mutate, as evidenced with SARS-Cov2, hence prevention and early detection of infection seems to be the most reliable strategies to cope with pandemics. The current available diagnostics tools, such as real-time polymerize chain reaction (RT-PCR), are not compatible with early detection as they are time-consuming, expensive, don’t offer multiplexing, and don’t offer on-site detection. To tackle these issues, Lab-on-Chip (LoC) biosensors have emerged, overcoming the limitations of conventional methods. Electrochemical biosensors mainly consist of electrodes integrated into a platform to offer portable, on-site, cost-effective, specific, and fast detection. This project introduces a multiplexing LoC biosensor for the simultaneous detection of 4 infection biomarkers; glucose, lactate, hydrogen peroxide, and C-reactive protein (CRP) all in one device using biocatalytic enzymes for the three metabolies and an antigen for CRP as biorecognition elements. Optimization on the electrode materials in terms of bioelectrocatalytic performance leads to the optimum sensing capabilities while allowing for multiplexing on a chip. This work compbines LoC technologies based on microfluidics and the recent advancements in materials science, combining conducting polymers with 2D electronic materials for the electrode fabrication.
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
