Research Summary:
The study of bioanalytical sensors and their applications:
- The monitoring of neurotransmitters: studies of the interplay of neurotransmitters can help elucidate some neurological diseases and behavior, such as Parkinson's disease and addictive behavior. This study develops highly sensitive sensors prepared by micromachined microelectrode array microprobes for monitoring multiple neurotransmitters. In vivo study in live rodents is involved to investigate the correlation between animal behavior and neurotransmitter transients.
- Electrode surface modifications for improving sensor sensitivity, detection limit, selectivity, and response time.
- Enzyme immunoassays for the detection of hormones and abused drugs, etc.
