Protein biomarkers can be used for early detection of cancers or for prognosis of cancer. Detection of cancer biomarkers with sensors demands extremely high sensitivity and strong anti-interference capability in the real-world biological samples. This presentation will show our effort to develop surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based biosensors for cancer protein biomarker detection by overcoming these two major challenges. This talk will demonstrate a SERS biosensor for detection of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) biomarker taken from breast cancer patients.
