Abstract
With the emergence of conducting polymers exciting directions opened in bioelectronics research, bridging the gap between traditional electronics and biology. With the goal of fully integrated devices, organic bioelectronic technologies have been heavily explored the past decade resulting in novel materials/device configurations. Multiplexing capability, ability to adopt to complex performance requirements in biological fluids, sensitivity, stability, literal flexibility, and compatibility with large-area processes are only some of the merits of this technology for biomedical applications. This talk will highlight our recent progress in sustainable biosensor design, emphasizing materials engineering and rational strategies to eliminate costly reagents and reduce environmental impact. Focusing on applications ranging from wearables to point-of-care diagnostics, we demonstrate novel biocatalysts and 2D materials can enhance the sensitivity, conformability, and overall functionality of bioelectronic sensors, while minimizing environmental impact.
