Frank C. P. and Grace C. Yin Distinguished Lecture: Shana Kelley, PhD, Neena B. Schwartz Professor of Chemistry and Biomedical Engineering at Northwestern University, will speak on Monday, April 28, 2025 at 1:00 pm central time in Whitaker 100.

Abstract: To put disease-related biomarkers to work for continuous monitoring of health and disease, new high-performance technologies are needed to enable rapid and sensitive analysis of proteins and other biomarkers. Electrochemical methods providing sensitive and direct biomarker readout have attracted a great deal of attention for this application. Recently we developed reagentless sensors that are powerful detectors for in vivo protein sensing (Nature Chemistry, 2021, J. am. Chem. Soc. 2023, Angew. Chem. Intl. Ed. 2023) as well as implantable sensors for continuous monitoring (Science 2024, Nature Biomedical Engineering 2025). This talk will summarize the development of these sensors, their application to a variety of clinical problems, and the development of a range of implatable sensors for in vivo monitoring.
