(Bio)Sensors Based on Nanophotonics for Healthcare
Description:
Within the framework of the Fourth International Congress of the Institute for Obesity Research (IOR) at Tecnológico de Monterrey, Dr. Eden Morales-Narváez, head of the Biophotonic Nanosensors Laboratory at the Center for Applied Physics and Advanced Technology of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, will offer the keynote lecture entitled (Bio)Sensors Based on Nanophotonics for Healthcare.
Eden Morales-Narváez is currently the head of the Biophotonic Nanosensors Laboratory at the Center for Applied Physics and Advanced Technology of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). His research focuses on the development and application of novel (bio)detection platforms, with a particular emphasis on the use of cutting-edge nanophotonics. In general, he is interested in green technologies, smart materials, integrated biosensors, wearable devices, flexible photonics, and Health 4.0/5.0.
In his presentation, Dr. Morales-Narváez will showcase several simple yet powerful (bio)analytical platforms based on nanophotonics, with point of care applications, as well as in portable devices and in vitro diagnostics. In this context, nanophotonic phenomena are fundamental to advancing the state of the art in biosensors in terms of portability, miniaturization, sensitivity, and ease of use, among other technological aspects.
