Development of a fabric-based plasmonic sensor for point-of-care diagnostics

Alhatab, Dalal (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2017)

Recently, the demand for new diagnostic techniques for detecting disease biomarkers at the patient point-of-care (POC) has increased. This project focuses on our recent progress towards a fabric-based plasmonic sensor which ...
Development of an electrochemical surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy DNA aptamer biosensor for rapid detection of protein biomarkers of disease

Harroun, Scott Gerald (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2014)

Electrochemical surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (EC-SERS) is a vibrational spectroscopic method involving detection of a target molecule at a metal nanostructured surface to which a potential has been applied. EC-SERS ...
Electrochemical surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy used in the characterization of Langmuir Blodgett/Langmuir Schaefer biomimetic membranes

Merchant, Soraya T. (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2014)

In recent years, the classification of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) as a pore-forming disease has been a highly debated topic. It has been postulated that aggregated species, such as amyloid beta (Aβ), derived from a transmembrane ...
An exploration of 2D-LC-SERS : a novel offline detection modality for multidimensional chromatography

Davidson, Melanie Dawn (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2019)

Multidimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) provides better resolving and separation power than conventional high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and over the past decade has increasingly been applied in many ...
Spectroscopic investigation of the interaction between biomimetic membranes and protein aggregates

Karaballi, Reem Ahmed (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2015)

Human diseases characterized by the deposition of insoluble extracellular proteins are referred to as amyloidoses. Such amyloidoses include Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington disease, and prion disease. ...
