Single-Molecule & Single-Cell Nanometric Biophysics
Our lab works at the interface among physics, nanotechnology, material science, and biology. We are curiosity and discovery driven. Our current research interest lies in experimentally and/or computationally gaining physics-oriented understanding of (a) the interactions of living systems (e.g., bacteria, fungi) with nano/micro-scale structures and physical agents and (b) the physical properties of biological systems (e.g., motion/diffusion, mechanical properties). We are also interested in developing new physics-based technologies and tools that are applicable to biological systems.
