As to the Presenter
 
Presentation Title：
Exploring Microcurrent Sensors for Life Science Applications
 
Abstract：
Real-time detection of how individual cells, DNA, and proteins behave and change is essential for early disease detection and the development of new therapies. Microcurrent sensors can capture subtle electrical signals that indicate the presence of biomolecules in cell secretions or biological fluids, offering label-free and rapid measurements. These sensors not only deepen our understanding of fundamental life science phenomena but also show promise for highly sensitive and quick diagnostic applications. This talk provides an overview of recent advances in microcurrent sensor development and discusses remaining challenges toward clinical use.
