MuFFin LAB – Multisensing For Fingerprinting
Research Description
Research conducted by the Multisensing For Fingerprinting (MuFFin) LAB at the Department of Medical Biotechnology (Faculty of Chemistry, WUT) focuses on the chemical profiling of (bio)samples for the development of fingerprint-based analytical methods. We design multispectral, multireceptor, and multisensor systems (including electronic tongue/smart tongue) for medical diagnostics, biotechnology, pharmacy, food industry, and agriculture. We conduct pioneering research on nanomaterials-assisted fingerprinting using chemosensitive nanoparticles. We also explore various applications of machine learning/chemometric and artificial intelligence methods in chemical analysis.
