Research and development of a new type of electrochemical biosensor for the detection of nucleotide sequences in DNA and of genotoxic agents in the environment

Abstract:
At present there is an increasing interest in devices (sensors, chips, etc.) suitable for rapid detection of a large number of nucleotide sequences in DNA and RNA, based on optical methods. It is the intention of this project to complement the optical detection by a more convenient and less expensive electrochemical one.
