Professor Kim Nam-young (Electronic Engineering) Research Team

Succeeded in developing dementia diagnosis technology with an aptamer-based ultra-sensitive biosensor

- JCR 1.5% Q1, IF: 12.545 Published in Scientific Journal Biosensors and Bioelectronics -

The research team, led by Professor Kim Nam-young of the Department of Electronic Engineering, said the team succeeded in developing ultra-sensitive probeless capacity biosensors for the detection of amyloid beta (Aβ1-42) in plasma, a biomarker of dementia, along with Prashant Kumar Sharma (1st author).

The research was supported by the Ministry of Education's support project for the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) and the basic science research program through the Graduate School of the Ministry of Environment (MOE). The research results were published under the title of “Ultrasensitive probeless capacitive biosensor for amyloid beta (Aβ1-42) detection in human plasma using interdigitated electrodes” in Biosensors and Bioelectronics (IF=12.545), an internationally renowned journal published by Elsevier.
