Department Seminar
Upcoming Seminar
Bio-Integrated Nanoelectronics for Precision Medicine and Biomanufacturing
Dr. Deependra Ban, UC San Diego
February 12, 2025
4:00pm-5:00pm in HSCI-105

Advancements in bio-integrated electronics are enabling real-time, ultra-sensitive biomolecular detection, transforming precision medicine and biomanufacturing. In this talk, I will discuss graphene field-effect transistor (gFET) sensors for real-time monitoring of critical parameters in biomanufacturing, CRISPR- and aptamer-integrated sensors for rapid detection of infections, genetic diseases, and heavy metals, and insect odorant receptor-based sensors for detecting volatile organic compounds. By integrating 2D nanomaterials like graphene and molecular recognition elements, these technologies are paving the way for next-generation diagnostics, pharmaceuticals, and environmental monitoring.

Seminars are held on Wednesdays at 4:00pm. All are invited to attend.
