Associate Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology · HDR

I develop biological and solid-state nanopores to detect and identify proteins and peptide biomarkers, unravel their conformations and post-translational modifications, and discriminate isomeric variants at the single-molecule level. I also investigate the reading of sequence-defined digital polymers as molecular information carriers.
