In this monograph, the graphene-based field-effect transistor (FET) biosensors are shown to be an emerging sensing platform. Divided into two parts the first set of chapters are devoted to basic knowledge of graphene, graphene FET and its biosensing. In the second part of this book the applications of graphene FET biosensors combined with various biotechnologies are presented. As well as discussing the existing technologies the authors also introduce their own ideas and concepts. Finally the remaining problems in graphene FET biosensors are discussed, along with proposed solutions and prospects for future applications. This monograph allows readers to grasp the basic knowledge and future direction of graphene-based FET biosensors.

Md. Zakir Hossain received his Bachelor’s (1989) and Master’s (1990) degrees from The University of Dhaka, Bangladesh, then Master’s (1999) and Ph.D. (2002) degrees from Kyoto University under the supervision of Professor Mitsuaki Nishijima. He was a JPSP postdoctoral fellow at The University of Tokyo (2002–2004) and worked with Professor Jun Yoshinobu. After spending two years at The University of Tokyo, he moved to Professor Maki Kawai’s laboratory in RIKEN, Japan. In July 2009, he moved to Northwestern University, USA, where he worked with Professor Mark Hersam as a research scholar. After some two years in the USA, he returned to Japan and began working as a tenure-track assistant professor in Gunma University in 2011. At present, he is a professor in the Gunma University Initiative for Advanced Research (GIAR). His field of expertise is surface and interface of materials. Recently his research interests expanded to graphene-based field effect transistor (FET) biosensors. During his research career, he has published articles in many journals including Nature Chemistry, Journal of the American Chemical Society, and Biosensors and Bioelectronics.
