About
Andrew B. Kinghorn is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of bioengineering and reproductive endocrinology, best known for his innovative work in developing real-time biosensing technologies. His primary research areas include aptamer-based electrochemical sensors, hormone pulsatility analysis, and point-of-care diagnostic devices. Kinghorn’s most significant contribution is the creation of a robotic aptamer-enabled electrochemical reader for measuring luteinising hormone (LH) pulsatility—a breakthrough that addresses the critical clinical need for non-invasive, continuous monitoring of reproductive health. His landmark 2019 paper on this topic, which has garnered 79 citations, demonstrates how his team overcame the limitations of traditional serial immunoassays by engineering a system capable of capturing the dynamic, pulsatile nature of LH secretion. This work has profound implications for diagnosing reproductive disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome and hypothalamic amenorrhea. Kinghorn’s approach combines synthetic biology with microfluidics and automation, offering a scalable platform for personalized endocrinology. His achievements have been recognized through competitive funding and collaborations with clinical partners, positioning him as a leader in translating bioanalytical innovations into practical medical tools.
