Several microRNAs have been linked to the occurrence of cancer, and thus the accurate measurement of these short, regulatory sequences could potentially serve as an early marker of disease. We seek to develop an electrochemical sensor that can detect relative miRNA levels through the indirect quantification of hybridization events at gold surfaces. Current efforts towards the design and optimization of this voltammetric detection platform will be presented.
