Ongoing Projects at IIB

IIB is at the forefront of groundbreaking research, fostering a dynamic environment for collaboration and innovation. Here, you'll discover our ongoing projects that address critical challenges in biosensing, propelling us towards a brighter future.

Our projects leverage the expertise of a global network – academics, industry leaders, non-profit organizations, and government agencies – to tackle significant hurdles in biosensing research.

Selective detection of chiral pesticides with plasmonic metasurfaces using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy

Development of a sensing platform that measures and detects chiral pesticides using surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy.

Contrast enhancement of fluorescent biosensors through non-linear signal amplification of ground state dimers

We have employed our recently discovered ground- state dimers of BODIPY conjugates (D||), which spontaneously form in the environment to which they localize to overcome general limitations.

Real-time, continuous ion monitoring for emergency medicine using a wearable microneedle patch

Develop and validate a flexible, wearable patch-type sensor for real-time, continuous analysis of biomarkers in biological fluids. Importantly, this device will be capable of biomarker analysis at the point of injury

Using light-sheet microscopy and FRET-based talin force sensors to investigate dynamic cell force generation

Aiming to use fluorescent light sheet microscopy in conjunction with FRET-based talin tension-sensing fibroblasts in tunable fibrin hydrogels to characterize cells’ dynamic, 3D spreading and force generation behaviors.

Holographic imaging sensor for airborne infection control in dental clinics

We formed a team of specialists to develop a low-cost and compact biosensor for monitoring potentially infectious particles generated during dental procedures and assessing infection risks in real-time.
