Do you know how aptamers are revolutionizing brain research! How can you accurately distinguish between dopamine, adrenaline, and noradrenaline in a biological fluid filled with countless other molecules?
Join us as we explore the exciting world of aptamers with Prof. Nako Nakatsuka from the Laboratory of Chemical Nanotechnology (CHEMINA) at EPFL. Nako’s pioneering research is reshaping how we detect chemicals in the brain and diagnose neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease.
In this episode, we cover:
The fundamentals of aptamers and their design
Techniques for neurotransmitter detection
The role of aptamers in brain disease
Future applications/research directions, and more!
