Optical Biosensors - POB Seminar

The EPFL Photonics Chapter (EPC) is very pleased to announce and cordially invite you to our monthly ‘Pizza-Optics-Beer’ (POB) seminar on Wednesday, 27th March at 18:15 in the room  CM1 106. 

This month we will have the pleasure to host Dr. André-Pierre Blanchard-Dionne from the Nanophotonics and Metrology Laboratory (NAM) with the presentation entitled:

"Optical Biosensors”


For organizational purposes (if you want to eat pizza!), please confirm your participation using this Doodle.
Don’t hesitate to extend the invitation to any postdoc and colleague!

Hope to see you there,
The team of the EPFL Photonics Chapter
 
 
Abstract:
Biosensing has become in the last 50 years an important theme in the health or chemical industry. Having the ability to detect or monitor biomolecules is at the center of many important applications such as healthcare monitoring, screening for diseases, environmental control etc. In this talk, I will be discussing optical biosensors (meaning sensors who use light as the transducing mechanism of molecular binding), their principles, setups and applications. I will also introduce a new generation of optical sensors based on plasmonic nanohole arrays.
