Dr Maria Cuartero and Dr Gaston Crespo have been recognised by the prestigious 'Ranking of the World Scientist' of Stanford University, which recognises the 2% of the most influential scientists in the world in their respective areas of knowledge. 

The Researchers from the UCAM SENS, Sensor Chemistry Unit, have published an article in the journal 'ACS Sensors about a new sensor designed a microneedle-based sensor capable of measuring in real-time the concentrations of two of the most important ions in plant physiology, potassium and sodium, in living plants, without causing damage. This device represents a crucial advance in plant health monitoring, allowing for continuous and real-time data to be obtained on the levels of these ions, essential for the correct development and growth of plants.

IRHIS, with more than 8 million euros, is the European project with the largest budget of all those that the Catholic University of Murcia has been a part of so far. 

UCAM-SENS will develop chemical sensors to maximise the monitoring of patients in the ICU using this non-invasive technology. 

The non-invasive technology will detect biomarkers in sweat in ICU patients. In addition, the device will be integrating the device with other devices already available in European companies to maximize patient monitoring. 

The Researchers from the UCAM SENS, Sensor Chemistry Unit, have published an article in the journal 'ACS Sensors about a new sensor capable of measuring lactate, a compound generated in the body when there is an insufficient supply of oxygen. The device will help monitor anaesthesia processes and the patient's condition in diseases such as sepsis.

Diego Pallarola, Reseacher at the Nanosystem Institute at University of San Martín, Buenos Aires, Argentina, was invited to give the 3rd Scientific Seminar of this year organized by UCAM-SENS. He presented his work in Electrochemical Sensing for Cell Adheshion Studies. 

Dr Isabel M. Díaz Lozano, UCAM-SENS Project Manager, and the UCAM-SENS PhD Candidate, Virginia López, were invited by SMARTLAGOON, the Horizon Europe project to study social-economic impact on the Menor Lagoon at Murcia Region, to present their advances in real-time and in situ monitoring of water reservoirs through smart chemical sensors, where the Foundation Estrella de Levante acts as funding body of the project.
