EQCM-D Applications in Biointerfacial Science: Trends and Opportunities

EQCM-D is a powerful measurement strategy for investigating the hydrated mass, viscoelastic, and electrochemical properties of biological interfaces. Among different options, the integration of QCM-D with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is particularly useful and has been increasingly adopted by researchers worldwide. In this talk, I will highlight recent advances in combining QCM-D and EIS for simultaneous characterization of biological and chemical systems. Representative examples will include mechanistic studies of antimicrobial peptides, conducting polymer fabrication for bioelectronic devices, nucleic acid and cancer exosome detection, and ion transport through nanofiltration membranes. In addition, I will present recent work from our laboratory on membrane-peptide interactions and discuss considerations for modeling bioelectrochemical responses on different types of sensor surfaces.

Who should attend:

This session is for anyone working with biological interfaces, biosensors, biomaterials, membranes, antimicrobial systems, bioelectronics, or electrochemical characterization. It is especially relevant for QCM-D users who want to expand into electrochemical measurements, as well as electrochemistry users who want to understand what QCM-D can add to their work.
