About

At Forster Research Group, we combine our expertise in sensor technologies and bipolar electrochemistry to drive groundbreaking solutions for tomorrow’s challenges.

Who We Are

We are the Forster Research Group at Dublin City University, led by Prof. Robert Forster. We design electrochemical sensors and smart materials for health and environmental monitoring.

Electrochemical Biosensing

We build point-of-care assays to read DNA/microRNA signatures of cancer, sepsis, and epilepsy for earlier, faster diagnosis.

Wireless Electrochemistry

Using bipolar electrochemistry we fabricate wireless sensing assays and 3D electroceuticals that couple diagnosis with therapy.

Materials

From polymers to thin films, we develop biodegradable, biocompatible materials that enhance device function.
