Biomimetic Polymeric Receptor-based Sensor Systems for Study and Monitoring of Wellbeing States

The PhD project aims to develop point-of-care (PoC) sensing devices based on molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) as robust, low-cost biomimetic receptors for non-invasive detection of biomarkers associated with human well-being, including stress. The project addresses limitations of current diagnostics, such as poor performance in complex samples and reliance on labile biological receptors. The resulting device is expected to provide affordable analytical tools for the accurate analysis of biological fluids, such as sweat, saliva, and urine, in point-of-care settings.

Research objective:

There is an increasing demand for point-of-care (PoC) devices for non-invasive analysis that enable stress monitoring with minimal disruption to daily routines. Electrochemical biosensors have attracted considerable interest due to their cost-effective fabri...
