About the Presenter

Dr. Swarna Ganesh is an assistant professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Arizona. With a doctorate in mechanical engineering, her research focuses on developing and applying advanced nanomaterials for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Her innovative work in Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) has led to significant advancements in detecting biomolecules at the single-molecule level. Dr. Ganesh’s recent studies involve the fabrication of nano sensors using multiphoton ionization with ultrashort pulsed lasers, enhancing the sensitivity of SERS for various biomedical applications. Her research has demonstrated the potential of these ultrasensitive sensors in single-cell imaging, cfDNA analysis for liquid biopsy assays in cancer diagnostics and the detection of viruses from saliva samples. With a commitment to translating cutting-edge research into practical healthcare solutions, Dr. Ganesh’s work is paving the way for more accurate, rapid and non-invasive diagnostic techniques.
