Facing the Challenges of Pharmaceutical Research Using Whispering Gallery Modes-Based Biosensors |Biomedgrid

During the last decade, different Whispering Gallery Modes-based biosensors (WGMS) have been proposed as bioanalytical platforms. These systems allow for a label-free real-time monitoring of a wide range of molecules, including DNA, proteins and polymers. With the advancement of new technologies and the increasing complexity of novel biotherapeutics, the development of versatile tools is of great relevance to meet the needs of the pharmaceutical research. Throughout this review, the role of WGMS in the drug development process and their ability to face the current challenges and limitations in this field will be discussed.
