Real time monitoring of bacterial attachment to medical devices provides opportunities to detect early biofilm formation and instigate appropriate interventions before infection develops. This study utilises long period grating (LPG) optical fibre se...

Highly sensitive label-free antibody detection using a long period fibre grating sensor (2018)
Journal Article
Liu, L., Marques, L., Correia, R., Morgan, S. P., Lee, S., Tighe, P. J., …Korposh, S. (2018). Highly sensitive label-free antibody detection using a long period fibre grating sensor. Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical, 271, 24-32. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.snb.2018.05.109

An optical fibre long period grating (LPG) biosensor is appealing in the detection of biomolecules because of the high sensitivity, label-free and real-time measurement. The miniaturized size, ability of remote sensing and immunity to electromagnetic... Read More about Highly sensitive label-free antibody detection using a long period fibre grating sensor.

Ultrasound induced fluorescence of nanoscale liposome contrast agents (2016)
Journal Article
Zhang, Q., Morgan, S. P., O’Shea, P., & Mather, M. L. (2016). Ultrasound induced fluorescence of nanoscale liposome contrast agents. PLoS ONE, 11(7), 1-15. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0159742

A new imaging contrast agent is reported that provides an increased fluorescent signal upon application of ultrasound (US). Liposomes containing lipids labelled with pyrene were optically excited and the excimer fluorescence emission intensity was de...

Post-processing of polymer foam tissue scaffolds with high power ultrasound: A route to increased pore interconnectivity, pore size and fluid transport. Materials Science and Engineering: C, 33(8), 4825-4832. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.msec.2013.07.046

The aimof this work is to demonstrate that the structural and fluidic properties of polymer foamtissue scaffolds, post-fabrication but prior to the introduction of cells, can be engineered via exposure to high power ultrasound. Our analysis is suppor... Read More about Post-processing of polymer foam tissue scaffolds with high power ultrasound: A route to increased pore interconnectivity, pore size and fluid transport.
