​​Welcome to Nanobiosensing, Nanomanufacturing, Nanomaterials (3N) Lab!

We seek to understand and exploit biomarkers capture and sensing with micro-and nanodevices. Our aim is to control and improve the sensitivity and specificity of biosensing: we are also interested in unconventional nanomanufacturing and novel nanomaterials.
