Project Description

My work is focused on using osmium redox mediators for peroxidase-based sensors and immunoassays, with a special emphasis on developing a non-invasive electrochemical immunoassay for detecting prostate cancer. I started my work with screening of different osmium redox mediators to find ideal mediators free from oxygen interference. I also investigated normalization techniques to suppress variabilities across electrode surfaces. Currently, I’m working on the electrochemical immunoassay, designed using screen-printed carbon electrodes whose surface can be modified for a sandwich-type ELISA system to capture multiple cancer biomarkers at once. This multiplex immunoassay system can be used to detect and stage prostate cancer simultaneously. Apart from working on immunoassays, I’m also interested in inorganic synthesis of transition metal redox complexes and redox polymers.

Goal at the end of the ITN project 
I intend to design a working non-invasive immunoassay for detection of prostate cancer.
