This talk will provide an overview of our recent developments in the design of colloids to detect disease biomarkers, such as abnormally regulated enzymes, to extend the detection window for early disease diagnostics. This talk will describe our research on the design of polymeric and inorganic nanomaterials for developing sensitive detection assays that are simple, cost-effective and easy deploy to the point-of-care. We are exploiting the sensing capabilities of nanoparticles to engineer paper-based lateral flow immunoassays (LFIAs) and nanosensors for in vivo disease diagnostics that produce a colorimetric response ideal naked eye read-out. We can integrate our nanomaterial based assays into smartphone enabled tests for point-of-care cancer diagnostics and monitoring of disease progression and response to treatment. Recent developments in this and other contexts will be discussed.
