| Research Interests: | Scientific research interest involve development of biosensors towards clinical and environmental application as well as fundamental research on biocatalysis. Biosensors for DNA detection. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are common variation in human genome and over 60 million SNPS are known to date. Many SNPs are clinically-related and their identification is important. Most recent research involve biosensor development for SNP detection, especially focusing of pharmacogenetic SNPs.

Nucleases and peptidases, enzymes that cleave nucleic acids and peptides, respectively, recently are reported as biomarker for various diseases. For example, MRE11 nuclease is directly related with breast cancer, while skin peptidases could showcase the development of various skin diseases. Recent research involved harnessing the diagnostic potential of those enzymes. Biosensors for small metabolic molecules. Glucose, ethanol, formaldehyde, amino acids – are common metabolites important both in clinical as well as environmental monitoring. Recent research is focused on developing biosensors for L-amino acid detection applicable for clinical setting to monitor L-amino acids present in intensive care patients. Fundamental research on (bio)catalysis. Nanoparticles can mimic enzymes and exhibit various catalytic activities. How? Research focuses on investigation how metallic nanoparticles could mimic enzymes and that is the mechanistic explanation of catalysis. |
