Description:About the Seminar\n\nRecently\, we developed thermoplastic elec
 trodes (TPEs) that are advantageous compared to traditional carbon composi
 te electrodes in terms of cost\, performance\, and robustness. However\, T
 PE applications in biosensing are currently limited due to a lack of facil
 e methods for electrode modification. TPEs have a highly variable surface 
 chemistry\, lending to inconsistent immobilizations of biorecognition elem
 ents such as antibodies\, aptamers\, and enzymes. Cu(I)-catalyzed 1\,3-dip
 olar cycloaddition (CuAAC)\, or Click Chemistry\, has been demonstrated to
  be highly robust and adaptable to different surface chemistries. My work 
 seeks to combine the benefits of both TPEs and CuAAC modifications to deve
 lop a customizable and versatile biosensing platform. Current results demo
 nstrate the success of the modification of TPEs via CuAAC and strong poten
 tial for use as a viable biosensor assembly method. 4:00 pm
