나노 바이오&반도체 센서 연구실(Nano Bio & Semiconductor Sensor Lab)

Human breath contains various biomarker species that are related to physical conditions. The analysis of exhaled volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can diagnose certain diseases such as cancers and even virus infection. The main goal of this project is the development of real-time wireless sensors that can detect various solute species in aqueous solutions. We are working on the synthesis of diverse receptors that can directly interact with solutes through the chemical binding. Designing and synthesis of receptors are important to selectively detect target species through chemical interactions. The unique structures of receptors are synthesized to systemically investigate their chemical binding properties. Carbon nanotubes are incorporated as an electrical transducer to transfer chemical interaction into an electrical signal in both gas and liquid phase environments.
