Main lines of research
GBIO Research Group: New technologies, devices and systems for biomonitoring .
The main objective of the GBIO group is the development of technically feasible, economically viable and clinically usable micro-nano-bio systems to measure key parameters related to the state or evolution of a living organism at a given moment .
This is achieved through the development of:
• Technology . The key concern is the development of new technologies that can lead to the develop- ment and manufacture of microsensors not only technically and economically viable, but also adapta- ble to the requirements of specific applications . This means that besides the current technologies ba- sed on silicon substrates, also silicon carbide and / or polymeric substrates could be also used to fulfill specific needs because of their special properties, such as hardness, flexibility or low cost . Alternative surface treatments should be also developed in order to build new sensors, for improved function or to avoid undesired effects .
