BIOPHYSICAL TECHNOLOGY LABORATORY

We wish to understand complex chemical and physical phenomena in biological systems at previously unattainable levels of detail. In particular, we study how shape-, size- and dimension-dynamics can be used to control chemistry in small-scale biological systems. Other prioritized areas include transport in soft-matter nanochannels, network dynamics, and studies of membrane protein structure and function, in particular, ion channels. We also create new ultra-small-scale technologies by combining biological, and biomimetic materials with solid-state technology. Such devices include biosensors, biological, and chemical computers, microrobots, and chemical analysis systems. Finally, we develop new transfection tools for drug-, and gene delivery.
