Abstract
Recent advances in chemo- and biosensor technologies have significantly enhanced the detection and quantification of glutathione, a critical biomarker associated with oxidative stress and the progression of neurodegenerative disorders. These innovations contribute to earlier diagnosis, improved disease monitoring, and more effective evaluation of therapeutic outcomes in conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, autism spectrum disorder, and ADHD. To actively engage undergraduate students in this rapidly evolving research area, the WRAPS (Writing Research Articles as Proficient Scholars) workbook was developed as a structured academic framework. Over 15 weeks, the workbook guides students through the process of identifying a focused research topic, conducting a comprehensive literature review, and composing a peer-reviewed scientific manuscript centered on emerging sensor technologies for chronic disease management. Each chapter aligns with a specific section of a scientific article, providing systematic instruction in scholarly writing. Supplementary modules introduce practical tools and software platforms to enhance research efficiency and data presentation. Beyond technical knowledge, the program cultivates transferable skills such as time management, collaboration, and adaptability.
