DESCRIPTION:Prof. Hatice Altug\, Bionanophotonics Systems Laboratory - EPF
 L\nIn our lab we are inspired by the challenges to introduce new biosensor
 s that can allow study of biological mechanisms to enhance our fundamental
  understanding of living entities and also develop point-of-care diagnosti
 c tools for emerging personalized and global healthcare applications. Towa
 rds these goals\, we work on interdisciplinary projects employing physics 
 and engineering toolboxes\, such as nanophotonics\, metamaterials\, nanofa
 brication\, micro/nanofluidics\, together with biology and chemistry. In t
 his talk I will present nanophotonic devices enabling ultra-sensitive mid-
 infrared spectroscopy and biosensing for label-free\, multiplexed\, high-t
 hroughput and real-time detection. I will also describe how we exploit nov
 el nano- optics phenomena on nano-engineered surfaces and recently discove
 red low dimensional materials such as graphene to achieve new biosensing m
