Current biosensors are lacking precision \, bulky\, and costly\, as well as they require long detection times\, sop histicated infrastructure and trained personnel\, which limit their applic ation areas. My laboratory is focused on to address these challenges by ex ploiting novel optical phenomena at nanoscale and engineering toolkits suc h as nanophotonics\, nanofabrication\, microfluidics and data science. In particular\, we use photonic nanostructures based on plasmonics and dielec tric metasurfaces that can confine light below the fundamental diffraction limit and generate strong electromagnetic fields in nanometric volumes. I n this talk I will present how we exploit nanophotonics and combine it wit h imaging\, biology\, chemistry and data science techniques to achieve hig h performance biosensors. I will introduce ultra-sensitive Mid-IR biosenso rs based on surface enhanced infrared spectroscopy for chemical specific d etection of molecules\, large-area chemical imaging and real-time monitori ng of protein conformations in aqueous environment. Next\, I will describe our effort to develop ultra-compact\, portable\, rapid and low-cost micro arrays and their use for early disease diagnostics in real-world settings. Finally\, I will highlight label-free optofluidic biosensors that can per form one-of-a-kind measurements on live cells down to the single cell leve l\, and provide their prospects in biomedical and clinical applications.\n \nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/283055 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/283055 ORGANIZER:nshaked@tau.ac.il SEQUENCE:1 SUMMARY:TAU Seminar: Nanophotonics: Enabling Technology for Next-Generation Biosensors URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/283055 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>Seminar in Tel Aviv Unviersity</st rong></p>\n<p><strong>Lecturer:</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Professor Hatice Altug\,</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Head of the BIOnanophotonic Systems Labor atory (BIOS)\, </strong></p>\n<p><strong>Institute of Bioengineering\, Sch ool of Engineering\, EPFL\, Swisserland&nbsp\;</strong></p><br /><br />Age nda: <br /><p>New health initiatives with global healthcare\, precision me dicine and point-of-care diagnostics are demanding breakthrough developmen ts in biosensing and bioanalytical tools.
