The development of biosensors ranges from choosing a target todetection to the analysis of quantities related to its efficiency. The knowledgeabout the components present in a biosensor (bioreceptor, transducer and thetarget to be detected) is fundamental to understanding the modification ofsurface and formation of immobilization layers. The choice of bioreceptor and thetechnique used for…
Biosensors are devices of high precision, specificity, simplicity and capable of detecting diseases in their early stages. In particular, biosensors based on organic materials have gained attention from the scientific community, as they allow the production of biocompatible, flexible, low-cost devices and are capable of detecting lower concentrations of analyte compared to conventional me…
The necessity to quantify analytes of biological interest encouraged the search for development of devices called biosensors. These devices must be capable of converting biological signals into measurable electrical signals, keeping the sensor selectivity with the interest analyte. Preferably they must be biocompatible. Field effect transistors are solid state devices with potential use i…
One of the biggest factor associated with the success in cancer treatment, in general, is the early detection. In breast cancer, the most common methods of diagnostic are: mammography, ultrasonography and magnetic resonance. Although they are effective, in most cases, the diagnostic is obtained when the disease is already in an advanced stage, which requires more aggressive treatments, an…

The development of biosensors ranges from choosing a target for detection to analyzing quantities related to their efficiency. The use of aptamers in the detection area is proving increasingly promising, allowing specific and selective configurations for the target analyte. With the aim of investigating the use of the G-quadruplex aptamer for detection of Dengue NS1, electrochemical imped…
Conducting and conjugated polymers are of great importance for several applications. Among the possible applications, the use of these polymers as active-sensing stage in chemical sensors and biosensors is well stablished. The main reason is that the electrical and optical properties of the polymeric material change as function of the protonation/de-protonation process that occurs when it…
Identification of cancer-specific markers at an early stage can greatly improve clinicalsuccess rate and reduce cancer-related mortality. Faster, more sensitive and robustbiosensors are being developed in a wide range of techniques for the detectionof disease markers, but very few devices enter clinical trials for cancer diagnosis.This collaboration focuses on the development of biosensor…
