Nano-Bio Laboratory, Special Centre for Nanoscience, Jawaharlal Nehru University, led by Dr. Partima R Solanki, focuses on the design and development of novel point of care diagnostic tools that represent one of the main research fields for nanobiotechnology. Biosensing systems based on electrical, optical, and electrochemical transducing schemes together with paper-based biosensors are overall in the focus of interest. Nanomaterials (NMs) such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, metallic nanoparticles, nanowires, and quantum dots exhibit unique electrical, optical and electrochemical properties; therefore considered to be excellent materials used as transducers or labels in enzymatic sensors, immunosensors, or DNA sensors (genosensors). The amplification of the detection of biorecognition events (enzymatic reactions, immunoreactions, DNA hybridization reactions etc) are the most important objectives of the current bioanalytical chemistry.
