Nanobiotechnology
Contact: John J. Kasianowicz
For over a decade, single molecule detection has enabled the study of biological systems in remarkable detail. Such measurements permit direct observation of molecular behavior that can be obscured by ensemble averaging. This project seeks to use single molecule electronic and optical measurements to understand the structure and function of biological molecules. The development of new nanoscale technologies for detecting and characterizing biological and biomimetic molecules is paramount to achieve these goals.
