In our lab we are inspired by the challenges to introduce new biosensors that can allow study of biological mechanisms to enhance our fundamental understanding of living entities and also develop point-of-care diagnostic tools for emerging personalized and global healthcare applications. Towards these goals, we work on interdisciplinary projects employing physics and engineering toolboxes, such as nanophotonics, metamaterials, nanofabrication, micro/nanofluidics, together with biology and chemistry. In this talk I will present nanophotonic devices enabling ultra-sensitive mid-infrared spectroscopy and biosensing for label-free, multiplexed, high-throughput and real-time detection. I will also describe how we exploit novel nano- optics phenomena on nano-engineered surfaces and recently discovered low dimensional materials such as graphene to achieve new biosensing methods.
