Karthika Kappalakandy Valapil

I am an analytical chemistry research student fascinated by interdisciplinary research. I am interested in the integration of electrochemistry and biology, particularly in the realm of low-cost sensors, bio-sensors, multielectrode arrays (MEAs), and electronic tongues. With over five years of hands-on experience, I have been studying microelectrodes and MEAs fabrication for various biosensing applications.

Throughout my academic journey, I have worked on numerous projects involving designing, developing, and optimizing electrochemical processes and systems. My focus lies on research projects aimed at revolutionizing biosensing capabilities.

The focus of my current project was the fabrication of ITO microelectrodes and microelectrode arrays for the analysis of cell cultures and biomedical applications. So far, laser-cut ITO microelectrodes and microelectrode arrays have been successfully developed as a low-cost platform for biosensing. Immortalized cell lines like HeLa, Hep-G2 and mouse primary hepatocytes are used in this study to optimize the performance of the electrodes. These electrodes and electrode arrays can be used as any functional electrodes available in the market.

My research is fuelled by a drive for innovation based on low-cost solutions. My ultimate goal is to contribute to the advancement of biosensing methodologies, paving the way for enhanced understanding and manipulation of biological systems.
