GENERAL RESEARCH OBJECTIVE OF THE GROUP
The activity of this Research Group focuses on two main lines:
Basic research: Synthesis, characterization and application of latest generation nanomaterials, redox polymers / electronic conductors and modern electroanalytical techniques in electrochemical (bio)sensors.
Applied research: Development, characterization and application of advanced electrochemical (bio)sensors for the determination of relevant (bio)markers in the environmental, clinical and food fields answering to the current demands of society.
