Febrication of ultra-sensitive electrochemical biosensors for the detection of oligonuleotides, proteins, small molecules and different type of biomarkers on the basis of chemical redox cycling, electrochemistry, nanotechnology, biotechnology and BioMEMS.
My future research interest is to develop cost effective, portable and simple handling biosensing device for untrained personel using lateral flow strip, micro fluidic chip and bio-chip so that it can be made commercially available specially for third world countries.
