\nAbstract:
\nBiose nsor research has delivered major advances in sensitivity\, selectivity\, and analytical sophistication\, yet the translation of these technologies into robust\, deployable systems remains a persistent challenge. This talk will examine biosensor development from a research and translation perspe ctive\, spanning early-stage device design\, assay architecture\, fluidic systems\, and analytical validation through to the constraints imposed by real-world application. The presentation will highlight previous academic work in surface chemistry\, receptor choice\, molecular engineering\, assa y format\, and signal transduction. \; Emphasis will be placed on elec trochemical biosensors\, with discussion of strategies to reconcile analyt ical excellence with simplicity\, robustness\, and manufacturability. The talk will show that embedding translational awareness within academic bios ensor research can strengthen both scientific quality and real-world relev ance\, without compromising fundamental innovation. The talk will finish b y showing how laboratory research is currently being translated through tw o companies\, Aureum Diagnostics and Microplate Dx.
\nBrief Bio:
\nProfessor Damion Corrigan is Director of the Centre for Advanced Measurement Science and Health Translation at the University of Strathclyde\, where he leads interdisciplinary research in analytical a nd measurement science\, with a focus on electrochemical biosensing for he alth applications. He is also Chief Technical Officer of Microplate Dx and Chief Scientific Officer of Aureum Diagnostics\, spin-out companies advan cing rapid diagnostic technologies. Professor Corrigan was awarded the 202 5 Royal Society of Chemistry Analytical Science mid-career Prize for his i nnovative contributions to electrochemical sensors for biomedical applicat ions. He is a past recipient (2023) of the Praxis-Auril UK Academic Entrep reneur of the Year Award\, recognising outstanding knowledge exchange and entrepreneurial achievement in the UK. His work spans fundamental measurem ent science through to translational innovation\, underpinning both academ ic biosensor research and real-world diagnostic impact.
