Research team led by Prof. Roberto Rella, at the IMM Institute, unit of Lecce, aims to advance science in the field of optical sensors and biosensors and develop novel optical sensors technologies for applications in biomolecular research and bioanalytics. This highly multidisciplinary research requires a concerted effort in multiple areas, including: research into photonic and plasmonic (nano)structures; the development of functional biomolecular systems; and the development of sensor instruments. The instruments developed by our research team are used for a variety of applications, among other fields, the investigation of biomolecules and their interactions, and the detection of chemical and biological substances.
