Research Topic

Fast detection of infections and environmental contamination

Medical and environmental questions, such as disease infection, successfulness of vaccinations and water purity, produce an urgent need for fast and easy to perform sensing techniques. Peptide functionalized sensors could provide a tunable platform for a large variety of sensing challenges.
