The focus of the group has been on expression of peptides and proteins, synthesis and functionalization of various organic as well as inorganic nanostructures, and molecular electronics with emphasis on charge transport through nanostructures such as DNA and peptide nanowires.

Major projects:

Antimicrobial Peptides - Structure function relationships

Somatostatin receptor II: A cancer target

Surfactant Peptides

DNA-based molecular electronics

Nano-structured surfaces for cell research

Controlled drug release from modified surfaces

Ultrasensitive biosensors

International PhD School Aug. 26-30 2013 

The School is aimed on providing theoretical background and “hands-on” experience in applications of SPM in Life Sciences, Soft Matter and Nanofabrication. The School will offer lectures and training by internationally renowned scientiscs, including Ned Seeman (New York University), Yuri Lyubchenko (Univ. of Nebraska) and Alexander Kotlyar (Tel-Aviv University). The SPM equipment will be provided by NT-MDT Europe BV.
