The most productive and active research of the group is centred in the exploitation of breakthroughs at the confluence of bio-, micro- and nano- technologies focusing on several key areas:
- Biosensors and Bioelectronics - Developing sensors for rapid detection of pathogens, toxins, and biomarkers using novel biorecognition elements.
- Biorefineries - Creating sustainable methods for converting biomass into biofuels and bioplastics through chemical engineering processes.
- Environmental Monitoring - Using biotechnological tools to track pollutants and harmful organisms in natural habitats.
- Health Diagnostics - Developing platforms for genetic testing and early disease detection through molecular analysis by creating low-cost non-invasive intelligent diagnosis systems that can be applied to clinical, environmental and food analysis.
