Nanomaterials, Biosensors And Medical Diagnostics (NBD)

The laboratories of Nanomaterials, Biosensors and Medical Diagnostics Team are located at the Faculty of Chemistry, Warsaw University of Technology, in the Department of Medical Biotechnology. The research conducted by the Team members concerns the development of analytical devices intended for clinical, biomedical and environmental applications. The projects implemented by Team members are primarily related to the development of chemical sensors and biosensors based on electrochemical, mass, and optical techniques. For this aim, receptor layers composed of nucleic acid molecules, antibodies and enzymes or based on polymer membranes are utilized. Team’s works also focus on the synthesis and modification of various nanoparticles, including nanozymes that can be used in bioanalysis and therapies. Typically, nanoparticles synthesized by Team members are characterized by unique optical, catalytic and magnetic properties and stabilized using various compounds including polymers of polyphenols.
