2023 Analytical Science mid-career Prize Winner
Professor Bhavik Patel, University of Brighton
Awarded for the development of innovative electrochemical sensors for advancing the understanding of biological signalling processes.
Biological signalling molecules transmit information between cells. These signalling molecules are essential for coordinating vital responses in the functions of our bodies. Measuring these signalling molecules can be tricky as they are present at rapid timescales and low concentrations.
Professor Patel’s research group is focused on developing electrochemical sensors that can measure biological signalling molecules and how they alter with disease. The group has a particular interest in understanding the biological signalling processes within the gastrointestinal system.
