Organic Electronic Bio-Devices
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advancements in the field of bio electronics and biotechnology have provided systems that are able to efficiently transduce biological events using rapid, label-free electronic devices. This progress has led to the improvement of biological sensing platforms demonstrating the potential to be applied for the rapid screening of biological samples and point-of care applications. Particularly, the tailoring of new biomaterials by bio-genetic engineering allows to create new enzymes and protein receptors, and to engineer monoclonal antibodies, aptamers or nucleic acids for non-biological substrates thus helping their integration in electronic devices. These electronic devices are mainly based on Carbon Nanotubes, Nanowires, Graphene sheets; Field Effect Transistors, piezoelectric crystals, scanning tunneling microscopy tips and others.
This Special Issue will be focused on contributions related with innovative bioelectronics tools useful for clinical and biological applications, biodefense and food processing. Including bio(nano)sensors, cells and bio-receptor arrays, electronic bio-circuits for specific cell signaling, devices for proteins detection and study of their conformational structure.
