Congratulations to Claudio Parolo on his first demonstration of continuous, real-time monitoring of a protein biomarker. In his paper, Claudio shows that aptamers can be deployed in electrochemical biosensors to support continuous detection of NGAL,a potential marker for acute kidney injury.

Sharing a modest step toward developing DNA origami-based electrochemical sensors. In this collaborative manuscript, Prof. Lukeman and colleagues have created a proof-of-concept, modular platform for the highly-specific sensing of mesoscale molecular targets. Stay tuned for future improvements on the platform.

Sharing an interview I had with ECSblog regarding the status of our lab during the COVID-19 lockdown. I hope this series of faculty interviews will help our community cope with the situation and motivate our trainees to get creative and do something to help. Stay safe all!
A big thanks to Jamie Spangler, Taekjip Ha, Miguel Pellitero and Elissa Leonard for working hard toward this effort with me. https://www.electrochem.org/ecs-blog/ecs-adapts-advances-arroyo-curras?utm_source=Informz&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=ECS%20Website&_zs=MvCAd1&_zl=GlKp6
I am leaving Chicago after a series of exciting, thought-stimulating presentations in the fields of biosensors and electroanalytical chemistry. Thank you to all of our colleagues and collaborators for sharing critical insights and ideas to help our research efforts. And very happy that I got to meet with good friends. Bye #Pittcon2020 !
Very proud of the work by graduate student Alexander Shaver, who just published the article “Alkanethiol Monolayer End Groups Affect the Long-Term Operational Stability and Signaling of Electrochemical, Aptamer-Based Sensors in Biological Fluids” in ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces. #NetzLabHopkins
In this study, Alex demonstrates the importance of selecting adequate monolayer chemistries to produce longer-lasting electrochemical biosensors. Specifically, we are working towards improving the operational stability of electrochemical, aptamer-based sensors to enable multiday sensing in vivo. More to come from the group! #NetzLabHopkins https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acsami.9b22385
Our review paper titled “From the beaker to the body: translational challenges for electrochemical, aptamer-based sensors” just got published by RSC Analytical Methods. In this work we discuss important translational challenges that must be addressed before E-AB sensors are ready for human biomedical research. Link and TOC figure included in the post:

Congratulations to @Miguel Aller Pellitero for publishing his first review ms from our group. Great way to end the year, Miguel!
