1. A process for forming a functionalized sensor for sensing a molecule of interest comprising:

  • providing at least one carbon nanotube having a first and a second electrode in contact therewith on a substrate;

    providing a third, sacrificial electrode, including a decorating material, on the substrate, a predetermined distance from the at least one carbon nanotube having a first and a second electrode in contact therewith, wherein the decorating material has a bonding affinity for bioreceptors that react with the molecule of interest; and

    applying a voltage to the third, sacrificial electrode, causing the decorating material to form nanoparticles of the decorating material on the at least one carbon nanotube via electrodeposition.
