Monitoring glucose concentration in human biological fluids is crucial for effective diabetes management. However, current methods often rely on invasive blood sampling, presenting limitations such as pain and discomfort. This PhD study aims to develop non-invasive or minimally invasive optical glucose biosensors. We will employ bioconjugates of glucose oxidase with fluorescent and light-converting organic materials. These innovative biomaterials will enable non-invasive glucose monitoring through the skin and/or significantly accelerate the bioanalytical process. This research will utilize cutting-edge biochemistry, bioorganic chemistry, and optical spectroscopy techniques. These methodologies will synthesize and characterize the novel fluorescent nano-biostructures for high-performance glucose biosensing.
