Analytical Chemistry and Sensors
About
Analytical chemistry and the development of sensors are two closely related fields of chemistry that are focused on the identification and quantification of molecules within complex samples. They are of increasing importance in healthcare and industry. Analytical chemistry involves the use of separation and detection, particularly using robotics and techniques such as mass spectrometry, to identify and quantify molecules, whereas sensors are developed to specifically bind to and detect certain molecules and provide a signal, which could take many forms (fluorescence, electrical, mechanical, etc.)
Groups
Our research interests lie at the interface between biology, chemistry and physics where fundamental chemistry underlies biological function.
The McLeod group employs a wide range of techniques to study drug metabolism.
The Norcott group research interest centres on using organic synthesis and reactivity to design new, functional molecules with important purposes.
