Abstract: Graphene is a recently discovered two dimensional allotrope of carbon. The unique electrical properties, biocompatibility and high surface area of graphene make this nanomaterial highly promising for biosensing with applications in clinical diagnostics. This material possesses great potential for developing next generation biosensors with high sensitivity and selectivity, with reduced costs. This review focuses on recent advances in graphene based biosensors for the detection of clinically relevant biomolecules such as glucose, cholesterol, hydrogen peroxide and protein based biomarkers.
Keywords: Graphene, bio-sensors, clinical diagnostics, biomarkers
