We would like to congratulate with Sara Mazzali, who brilliantly obtained her bachelor’s degree in Biotechnologies on 14/10/2022, obtaining the maximum mark. At LEO lab, Sara developed a transistor biosensor based on on single-walled carbon nanotubes, realizing a thesis entitled:
Alzheimer’s: an Unimore project to develop a low-cost biosensor for large-scale screening
Alzheimer’s Disease is the most common cause of dementia. Its diagnosis uses “biomarkers”, the most specific being the increase in levels of tau phosphorylated (p-tau) in CSF. However, the measurement of p-tau in the blood is not yet standardised and
