The development of RF biosensors for biomolecular detection is a very recent trend and is still in the early stages of definition. The introduction of carbon-based nanomaterials thin film seems promising not only for the detection of biomolecules but also for the realization of passive biosensors for diagnosis of various cancers (breast, prostate …) as well as routine clinical analysis (detection of glucose levels in the serum or drug detection and monitoring).
Clearly, the realization of RF sensors with high sensitivity and low detection limits requires multidisciplinary research.
The goal of this project is to realize a small size, lightweight, biocompatible and cheap radio-frequency sensor for bio-sensing applications. The performances of the sensor will be improved with the introduction of carbon-based thin films.
