Biosensor is an analytical device which converts a biological response into interpretable signals. In most recent years, innovation made on nanotechnology and biotechnology has resulted in more sophisticated biosensors development. In Biosensors and Nanobiotechnology Laboratory, we are aiming at developing reliable and yet simple methodologies that could allow biological detections to be carried out for various applications, particularly on the aspects of food safety, healthcare and environmental protection which deserve public awareness.
