Brief description of the Research Team / Research Group / Department
The Electroanalysis and Electrochemical (Bio)sensors research Group is a consolidated Group of the Complutense University of Madrid, constituted in 1988, whose research covers all branches of Analytical Electrochemistry. Among the main lines of research carried out by this group (GEBE-UCM) are the synthesis, characterization and integration of nanomaterials, state-of-the-art bioreceptors and assay formats, redox polymers/electronic conductors and modern electroanalytical techniques in cutting-edge electroanalytical bioplatforms with real-world applicability. Responding to the current demands of society, the GEBE-UCM group develops, characterizes and applies advanced electrochemical biotechnologies, both enzymatic and affinity, for the discovery, determination and multiplexed and/or multiomics validation of (bio)relevant markers in personalized medicine and nutrition, with simple handling, affordable cost and applicability at the point of care. This research group consists of 4 Full Professors, 4 Associate Professors, 4 Assistant Professors and several pre- and post-doctoral researchers. The scientific production of this research group is summarized in more than 500 research papers, 12 patents and over 4,500 communications to Congresses the national level, this Group gets funding from national projects and private contracts with several companies. At the international level, this research group has hosted a Global Action EC H2020-MSCA-IF and participates regularly in calls for European project grants. In fact, this group was a participant in a project awarded in the Call: H2020-ECSEL-2017-2-RIA-two-stage ECSEL Joint Undertaking and is always open to fruitful collaborations with other prestigious national and international scientific researchers and with numerous outstanding partners (from research centers, hospitals and industry).
Research lines / projects proposed
This Group"s research activity focuses on the implementation of advanced electrochemical platforms for single or multiple determinations at the same or different omic layer based on the use of novel nanomaterials, surfaces chemistries, biosensing approaches and amplification strategies for ultrasensitive and selective and detection of relevant analytes (transcriptomic, epigenetics and proteomic biomarkers) in complex samples (food extracts, tissues, saliva, blood, exosomes, cells, etc.). This multidisciplinary research is oriented towards developing new analytical tools in different fields, which should provide the fellow with valuable knowledge for the development of new bio-electroanalytical methodologies of great interest in food safety and in the improvement of clinical diagnosis and prognosis. In fact, the multidisciplinary education and training in different areas derived from the research carried out in this research group, together with the framework of its unique collaborations with other researchers and industrial partners, will give the fellow unique training and the optimal preparation for a future professional career in the EU knowledge sectors, whether private or public. It should also be noted that the fellow will have the possibility of giving part of the practical teaching assigned to the department to which the applicant group belongs, which will also allow him/her to develop skills as a university teacher.
