My project is entitled ‘‘Functionalizing graphene sensors with receptors for diagnostic biomarkers for infection’’. The aim of the project is the preparation of synthetic receptors and the evaluation of their binding properties to diagnostic biomarker compounds, using organic synthesis and characterization of organic compounds as tools to attain this goal. In collaboration with another ESR in the project, I will functionalize graphene with synthetic receptors and evaluate the properties of the produced graphene devices as biosensors for infection. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 955626.
