Biosensors for Pandemics 2021 Abstracts Book
On behalf of the Organising and the International Scientific Committees we take great pleasure in welcoming you for the 2nd edition of the Biosensors for Pandemics Online International Conference. “Biosensors for Pandemics: Reliable and efficient nanotech-based diagnostics in emergency situations” is an Online conference that will address main problems scientific community is facing nowadays for COVID-19 pandemics. The idea is to get together worldwide well-known experts in biosensing technologies who are working currently in COVID-19 diagnostics or have a great potential for application of their technologies in the near future. This conference is also addressed to specialists in virology, epidemiology and other health areas and communication technologies that are crucial for guiding biosensing community and their diagnostics ideas using biosensors in the right way. A virtual round table providing answers to participants and sharing ideas between speakers is also previewed. We are indebted to the following Scientific Institutions and Companies for their help and/or financial support: Institut Catala de Nanociencia I Nanotecnologia (ICN2) and Graphene Flagship. We also would like to thank all the speakers and participants that join us this year. We truly hope that Biosensors for Pandemics serves as an international platform for communication between science and business. Hope to see you again online in the next edition of Biosensors for Pandemics. Biosensors for Pandemics Organising Committee Biosensors for pandemics February 02 - 03, -

Lechuga Dr. Esther Vázquez PhD supervisor Tutor A mis padres Abstract Nowadays, Tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis is carried out at centralised laboratories, employing bulky equipment, complex reagents, and trained staff, increasing costs and the time to obtain the results. For that reason, the aim of this Doctoral Thesis is to develop a point-of-care (POC) platform able to deliver a prompt and reliable response to TB diagnosis, taking advantage of a highly sensitive evanescent wave optical sensor. The POC platform integrates a novel photonic sensor consisting of a Mach-Zehnder Interferometer transducer array incorporated in a disposable microfluidic cartridge. Firstly, an optical characterisation was carried out to study the new POC performance and its ability to be employed for biosensing applications. Once the POC platform was optically characterised, diverse biofunctionalisation strategies were tested in order to incorporate specific antibodies as bioreceptors to the sensor surface. -
Nanoplasmonic Biosensors for Clinical Diagnosis at the Point of Care
Doctorat en Bioquímica, Biologia Molecular i Biomedicina Departament de Bioquímica i Biologia Molecular – Facultat de Medicina Nanoplasmonic Biosensors for Clinical Diagnosis at the Point of Care Doctoral Thesis – 2015 Maria Soler Aznar Author Dr. M. Carmen Estévez Prof. Carles Arús Prof. Laura M. Lechuga Tutor Directors Abstract This Doctoral Thesis focuses on the development of novel analytical methodologies in optical biosensors as alternative solutions for diagnosis or therapy monitoring of relevant diseases, such as allergy, celiac disease or cancer. In particular, we propose the use of nanoplasmonic biosensors for a rapid, sensitive and label-free detection of biomarkers present in human fluids. Both the well-known Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) biosensor and an innovative nanoplasmonic biosensor based on gold nanodisks surfaces have been evaluated for their real application in the clinical field. The different biosensor methodologies make use of antibodies, either as biorecognition elements in immunoassays or as specific disease biomarkers for diagnostics. First, an in-depth study of two site-directed antibody immobilization strategies is presented for the direct immunoassay of protein biomarkers in biological fluids. In second place, a novel immunosensing strategy is proposed for the detection of gluten-derivative peptides in urine as a rapid and non-invasive technique for dietary control in celiac patients. On the other hand, two assays have been developed employing the nanoplasmonic biosensor to detect blood circulating antibodies as disease biomarkers. First, we have designed an alternative approach for drug allergy diagnosis (in particular for amoxicillin) based on dendrimer-based receptors, which enable the detection IgE antibodies directly in serum. And second, a new biosensing strategy is assessed to quantify specific tumor-related autoantibodies for the early diagnosis of colorectal cancer.
