Message from the Director

The Biosensor Research Center operates in a highly specialized and effective manner to develop knowledge, localize, and apply methods for identifying and measuring analytes using biological elements and nanomaterials. The design of biosensors has seen significant growth in various fields of biology and medicine over the past two decades. Moreover, in recent years, the development of nanobiosensors has notably increased the sensitivity of measurement methods. These techniques can aid research in the unknowns of biological and medical sciences, as well as in understanding the mechanisms of certain diseases and disorders. They also play a critical role in diagnosing and treating diseases, identifying their causes and contributing factors, and advancing related fields such as pharmaceuticals, advanced drug delivery systems, and the discovery and evaluation of new drugs and their biological activities.

To date, the primary application of biosensors has been in medical diagnostics and laboratory sciences. Currently, glucose biosensors are among the most successful on the market, used to measure blood glucose levels in diabetic patients. This research center specifically focuses on designing diagnostic and therapeutic methods for endocrine and metabolic diseases.

One of our goals is to collect, organize, and classify relevant documents, articles, and materials, as well as to train researchers in the field of biosensor and nanobiosensor design for the identification and measurement of analytes. We also aim to encourage and engage researchers and to attract attention and collaboration from relevant research and executive centers both domestically and internationally. Establishing and strengthening interdisciplinary connections, alongside applying the results of fundamental research, are among the significant advantages of this research center.
