Nanotechnology: Flexible biosensors with modular design

LMU researchers have developed a strategy that enables biosensors to be easily adapted for a wide range of applications. Biosensors play a key role in medical research and diagnostics. At present, however, they generally have to be specially developed for each application. A team led by LMU chemist Philip Tinnefeld has developed a general, modular … Read more
