Conducting polymer nanobiointerfaces for biosensing and cell engineering

Conducting polymers are organic polymeric materials which are able to transduce electricity. These materials provide a unique toolkit for studies of biological events through electronic signals, including biosensing and cell engineering. In this research, we create a variety of conducting polymer molecular structures and nanostructures in order to control the biointerfacial properties. The results have demonstrated much improved sensitivity on electrochemical biosenser based on these so-called “conducting polymer nanobiointerfaces” as well as defined cell engineering.
