Single Molecules, Single Colloids and Membrane Transport
Ulrich F. Keyser
Our main research is focused on understanding and controlling transport processes through membranes of both biological and technological origin.
We employ a range of techniques (optical tweezers, fluorescence microscopy, ionic current detection, micro- and nanofluidics) to study soft matter and biological physics at the micro- and nanometer scale.
One of the main goals is to understand the physics of macromolecules in confined geometries at the single-molecule level.
The improvement and development of new measurement and sensing techniques is another major interest of our group.
Our interdisciplinary research combines physics, physical chemistry, biochemistry/biology, and micro-/nanofabrication.
We are looking for PhD students for projects on:
DNA origami nanopores
Probing the force on DNA-protein complexes in a nanocapillary
Details on these projects can be found here.
Please contact Ulrich Keyser (ufk20 (at) cam.ac.uk) for more details.
