Debashis Chanda (IMAGE) University of Central Florida Caption UCF NanoScience Technology Center Professor Debashis Chanda developed an integrated optical sensor capable of detecting dopamine directly from an unprocessed blood sample. The sensor may serve as a way to efficiently quantify dopamine and use the results to screen for neurological disorders and conditions like Parkinson’s disease or depression.
