At the heart of designing and understanding new and existing molecular processes is the need for qualitative or quantitative analysis of the species present. The Imaging, Sensing, and Analytical Chemistry theme addresses this challenge by exploring and developing new detection strategies to improve molecular specificity, sensitivity, and contrast for a wide range of applications, from early stage diagnostics to medical imaging, proteomics, sensing of environmental pollutants and toxins, and understanding species transport in complex media.
The coordinator for this theme is Prof. Marina Kuimova. For general enquiries about this theme please contact her at m.kuimova@imperial.ac.uk or feel free to contact any members of the theme listed below for more specific enquiries.
