Next-Generation Nanobiosensor Devices for Point-Of-Care Diagnostics

Dr. Gorachand Dutta, PhD is an Assistant Professor with the School of Medical Science and Technology, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. His research interests include the design and characterization of portable biosensors, biodevices, and sensor interfaces for miniaturized systems and biomedical applications for point-of-care testing. He received his Ph.D. in Biosensor and Electrochemistry from Pusan National University, South Korea, where he developed different classes of electrochemical sensors. He completed his Post-doctoral fellowships in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Michigan State University, USA, and the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at the University of Bath, UK. He has expertise on label-free multichannel electrochemical biosensors, electronically addressable biosensor arrays, aptamer- and DNA-based sensors and surface bio-functionalization.

He is recipient of many prestigious awards and fellowships, such as the prestigious Pusan National University Research Fellowship, BK-21 Fellowship South Korea.
