Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are potent toxins produced by Clostridium bacteria that are responsible for the illness botulism and are listed as bioterrorism agents. Rapid detection and discrimination of BoNT serotypes implicated in foodborne human disease are critical for ensuring timely treatment of patients and identifying sources of toxins. The “gold...

Irrigation water is a primary source of fresh produce contamination by bacteria during the preharvest, particularly in hydroponic systems where control of pests and pathogens is a major challenge. In this work, we demonstrate the development of bacteria pathogen biosensor using graphene-based interdigitated electrodes (IDEs). The sensor is incorporated into...

We have recently shown that carbon nanofibers (CNFs) as transducers are superior in comparison to screen-printed electrodes used in most electrochemical low-resource setting biosensors. Since ease and reproducibility of fabrication of such transducers is of utmost importance in the point-of-care and in-field sensor fields, we have investigated strategies to generate...

The "chemical nose/tongue" approach presents a powerful alternative to specific biomarker approaches. In this strategy a sensor array is generated to provide differential interaction with analytes via selective receptors, generating a stimulus response pattern that can be statistically analyzed and used for the identification of individual target analytes and also...

Advances in synthetic biology, nanotechnology, and genetic engineering have allowed parallel advances in areas such as drug delivery and rapid diagnostics. While current visions of nanobots may be far off, a generation of nanobots synthesized by engineering viruses is approaching. Such tools can be used to solve complex problems where...
