Nuclear Pore Mimics
Attempts to build a fully artificial nuclear pore complex capable of transporting biomolecules by a shuttle-cargo mechanism.
Protein Purification
Using polymer brushes for large-scale separation of biomolecules, which may lead to great cost reductions in production of biopharmaceuticals.
Molecular Trapping
New trapping methods using solid state nanoscale chambers for long-term observation of single (or a few) molecules by fluorescence microscopy techniques.
