UMS Biosensors Research Group

​​

The overall goal of UMS Biosensors Research Group is to develop new tools and technologies, both biological and electronic for the determination of formaldehyde in fish samples, cholesterol in food samples, melamine in raw milk and or milk product, pesticide in vegetables, and study on DNA probe immobilization and hybridization, peptide proteins and enzyme immobilization with egg shell membrane; these tools will lower the cost and increase the speed of the analysis.



We believe the next generation of technology should integrate biology with various nanomaterials such as polymerase (poly-L-lysine), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), ionic liquids (ILs), nanoparticles (NPs), chitosan (CHIT). We are widely exploring those technologies that directly convert a biological component to an electrical signal. In doing so we may be able to avoid the expense and time usually involved in biological amplification of the signal and the use of special readout material such as fluorescent dyes (methylene blue, prussian blue, acridine orange), and then the corresponding complexity of the detection device. In these development technologies must either allow researchers to address biological questions that are previously considered impossible or impractical or they must make significant improvements in existing technology for speed, accuracy, throughput or cost.

Our research groups are involved in the development of nano-biochips, nano-biosensor and nano-biomaterials based on the exploitation and utilization of bio-contents. By conducting joined research in the fields of biotechnology, nanotechnology and new drug discovery technology.
