CURRENT RESEARCH AND IMPACT

Most recent research

  • Rapid Detection of bacterial contamination in water
  • Evaluation of the proinflammatory effects of contaminated bathing water
  • A Label-Free DNA-Immunosensor Based on Aminated rGO Electrode for the Quantification of DNA Methylation
     

 

Endotoxin as a Marker for Water Quality:

This research led to the establishment of a successful spin-out company and resulted in seven granted patents, with additional patents pending worldwide. The innovative work in using endotoxins as a marker for water quality has significantly advanced the field, providing a crucial rapid screening tool for detecting bacterial contamination. These advancements contribute to reducing public health risks by improving water safety and quality.
