Prof. Fabiana Arduini Gives an Invited Seminar at the University of California, San Diego
On August 1st, 2025, Prof. Fabiana Arduini, coordinator of the EU-funded PHOENIX project and Professor at the University of Rome Tor Vergata (UNITOV), was invited to deliver a seminar at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). The event was hosted and organized by Prof. Joseph Wang, one of the leading figures in the field of analytical and electrochemical chemistry.
The seminar provided an inspiring opportunity for scientific exchange with UCSD’s world-class research community and offered a platform to discuss cutting-edge developments in sustainable analytical technologies.
In her lecture, entitled “Paper-based electrochemical biosensors: what we did and where we are going”, Prof. Arduini presented the roadmap of her research group’s work on paper-based electrochemical devices, with a particular focus on biomedical applications. She emphasized the sustainability and versatility of these platforms, which are emerging as powerful tools for point-of-care diagnostics and decentralized healthcare solutions.
During the presentation, Prof. Arduini highlighted the unique advantages of using paper as a substrate for electrochemical (bio)sensors, such as reagent-free operation, minimal sample preparation, and the elimination of external pumping systems. She also discussed the potential of these systems for innovative paper-based organ-on-a-chip devices, contributing to more sustainable, accessible, and patient-centered healthcare.
