Advanced Computational Techniques for Plasmonic Metasurfaces in the Detection of Neglected Infectious Diseases

This tutorial delves into the integration of plasmonic metasurfaces as cutting-edge tools for creating highly sensitive diagnostic assays tailored to neglected infectious diseases. Plasmonic metasurfaces provide a transformative approach to diagnostics by addressing common limitations of traditional methods, including slow results and high costs. This tutorial explores their application in advancing sensitive and cost-effective solutions for neglected infectious diseases. This manuscript covers the complete cycle of developing optimized, AI-driven plasmonic metasurfaces, from biofunctionalization strategies and advanced fabrication techniques to addressing scalability, regulatory challenges, and point-of-care accessibility in resource-limited settings.
