Islam M. Mosa

Islam M. Mosa serves as a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Connecticut. His work bridges chemistry, materials science, engineering, and biology to develop innovative technologies for biosensors and bioelectronics applications.

His educational background includes:

• Postdoc Fellow, Department of Chemistry, University of Connecticut, USA (2018-2022)
• M.Sc., Global Entrepreneurship, Departments of Engineering/Business, University of Connecticut, USA (2022)
• Ph.D., Chemistry, University of Connecticut, USA (2018)
• M.Sc., Biochemistry, Tanta University, Tanta, Egypt (2011)
• B.Sc., Biochemistry, Tanta University, Tanta, Egypt (2006)

Mosa's research focuses on developing user-friendly prototypes at the interface of multiple scientific disciplines. His work spans surface and electrochemistry innovations to engineering practical diagnostic systems. Key research areas include CRISPR- and protein-based microfluidic systems for Alzheimer's and cancer diagnostics, as well as novel energy-harvesting methods to power battery-free medical devices such as deep brain stimulators, cardiac pacemakers, and wearable sensors. His research group appears to collaborate with the Rusling research group at UConn, which specializes in analytical chemistry, electrochemistry, biochemistry, and nanoscience for developing diagnostic devices and toxicity screening systems.

Mosa's work contributes to the development of low-cost, high-throughput bioanalytical devices using microfluidics and potentially 3D printing technologies for medical diagnostics applications. His research has potential applications in cancer diagnostics, genotoxicity screening, and electrochemical biocatalysis, utilizing techniques including electrochemistry, electrochemiluminescence, surface plasmon resonance, and LC-MS/MS.
