Thesis: Design and Development of Electrochemical Biosensors for

Real-time Monitoring of Oxidative Stress and Efficient

Bacteria Detection

Research: Develop electrochemical biosensors for rapid real-time detection of ROS/RNS species in biological samples and to

differentiate live / death pathogenic bacteria

- Design biosensors to study the antibiotics-meditated oxidative stress-related mechanisms in bacteria

- Miniaturization and application of the cytochrome c biosensor for real-time in vivo monitoring of superoxide radicals in a mouse

intestine model of ischemia and reperfusion injury

- Design and development an implantable electrochemical sensor for measuring nitric oxide (NO) release in embryonic zebrafish
