Biosensors Webinar | Recent Advances in Electrogenerated Chemiluminescence Biosensors

Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, La Trobe Institute for Molecular Science, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.;Professor Conor Hogan is a global leader in electrochemiluminescence (ECL), with core expertise in analytical chemistry, electrochemistry, and photophysics. His research lies at the intersection of these fields, spanning both fundamental and strategic work to develop new materials, molecules, and insights, alongside applied research focused on translating scientific breakthroughs into biosensor technologies for real-world applications such as medical diagnostics and environmental monitoring. Given the multidisciplinary nature of sensor technology, Conor’s research group collaborates across diverse areas including chemistry, biochemistry, physics, materials science, electronic engineering, and software engineering. He has led pioneering advances in ECL multiplexing and significantly advanced understanding of mixed ECL systems. One of his recent innovations is the development of "AudioDAC Voltammetry"a patented technique enabling instrument-free voltammetry using mobile devices such as smartphones. This technology is currently being commercialized. In 2019, Conor established and was the inaugural Director of the Biomedical and Environmental Sensor Technology (BEST) Centre, at La Trobe University, which has become the university’s most successful centre in research translation and commercialisation. He achieved this by fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and strong industry partnerships. Conor is now the Director of the ARC Industry Transformation Research Hub for Molecular Biosensors at Point-of-Use (MOBIUS), located at La Trobe University, in Melbourne.
