Description:The research of the MB group focuses on single-molecule biophysics. The group employs magnetic and optical tweezers, AFM, single-molecule fluorescence, and nanofabricated structures to study biomolecular systems and foster new nanotechnology. Our current research falls in two main areas: -Local probe studies of single biomolecules, for example DNA repair proteins, topoisomerases, RNA-processing enzymes, and DNA condensation. -Nanofabricated structures for single biomolecules, including solid-state nanopores, nanofluidic channels, and electrochemical detection using nanoelectrodes and carbon nanotubes.
