In this presentation, we will discuss the use of fibre-based nanosensors decorated with metallic nanoparticles as a vector of enhancement for sensing molecules in single cells and in tissues, with the aim of being implantable in the future, to gain valuable chemical information related to human health. The topics discussed will include how to create assemblies of nanoparticles on the highly curved surface of nanofibers, instrument design, data processing using machine learning and demonstrate the applications of these nanosensors in single cell studies for the detection of metabolites and for monitoring neurotransmitters in brain tissues.
