   Visible Biosensing Strategy with Aggregation of Gold Nanoparticles Mediated by Bifunctional Linker

   Studied biosensors that detect bacteria by a color change seen by eye, without a dedicated reader, by controlling the aggregation of gold nanoparticles with bifunctional linkers.

2. M.S.Department of Agricultural Biotechnology, Seoul National University · Feb. 2013

   Novel strategy for visible detection method using aggregation of gold nanoparticles

   Proposed a visual detection method in which the target reduces the number of linkers bridging gold nanoparticles, shifting the linker concentration range in which the color changes.
