Research Interests

The Biomolecular Electronics Research Laboratory, Director Prof. Dónal Leech, was established in NUI, Galway in 1997.

Research in the laboratory focuses on preparation and characterisation of electron-transfer catalysts and modified electrode surfaces directed to eventual application as biomolecular electrochemical devices (sensors and fuel cell electrodes).

This research is undertaken by a group consisting of post-doctoral, doctoral, masters and undergraduate researchers working with collaborating partners within NUIG (Paul Kavanagh, Vincent O'Flaherty, Maeve Duffy, Florence Abrams), nationally and internationally (see joint publications for details).

The research laboratory is located in the Ryan Institute of the National University of Ireland Galway (NUIG), and the laboratory is affiliated to the School of Chemistry and National Centre for Biomedical Engineering Sciences.

The fundamental reactions that form the basis of most of our studies are electron transfer reactions. We have a particular interest in electron transfer reactions at the solid/liquid interface and in harnessing biomolecular electron transfer events. The research programme is aimed at developing eventual applications in bioelectrochemical diagnostics and sensors, biomolecular interaction platforms, biofuel cell prototypes, bio- and electrochemical bleaching methodologies, and trace metal monitoring systems in ocean environments. We have in addition a research effort that seeks to underpin these areas of application, focused on synthesis and characterisation of electrode modifiers, separations science and surface analytical techniques, and electrochemical and biochemical methods. Should you require any further information on our research programme please browse our publications, or contact Prof. Dónal Leech
