MiCRA Research Projects

Our overall aim is to establish a skill base in core technologies for diagnosis and disease monitoring with identification of hybrid sensor arrangements providing real time, accurate and in depth information regarding a number of disease states with necessary clinical diagnostic information. Key thematic areas (Fig. 1) are informed by national policy/strategy, industry requirements and market drivers and currently include:
1. Nanostructured materials (bioscience and molecular electronics applications),
2. Micro and nanosensor technology (applications in neurochemical monitoring, electrolyte detection and bedside disease state monitoring)
3. Electrocatalytic materials (applications in biomedical, fuel cell and environmental science);
