MoReSense group – MOLECULAR RECEPTORS & CHEMICAL SENSORS

Research carried out by the Team at the Chair of Medical Biotechnology involves the design of molecular receptors for selective chemical sensing, development of chemical sensors and innovative multisensor systems, known as electronic tongues (ETs). These analytical systems are applied in environmental and process monitoring, medical diagnostics as well as pharmaceutical analysis. Current research activities of the Team include: – design of new molecular receptors based on polyaromatic hydrocarbons, – development of ETs for the detection of dietary supplements adulteration, – investigation of electrochemical properties of metallopeptide receptors.
