Course summary

Professor Walti is working with a team of postgraduate researchers who use atomic force microscopy as part of their research into cell separation. A promising route for the directed assembly of nanoscale components is molecular self-assembly, which endeavours to take advantage of the specific lock-and-key recognition properties inherent in many (bio)molecular systems. We are following a number of pathways to introduce biological functionality into nanostructured electronic devices. These new methodologies could be used in new molecular sensors, for memory and switching operations and as a means of directed 3D assembly. Our bio-nanoelectronics suite offers molecular biology facilities – PCR cyclers, centrifuges, agarose and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and microreflux apparatus – tailored to support our DNA and protein work. These are complemented by a large range of electrical characterisation equipment and tools for nanoscale manipulation for techniques such as: Electrochemical surface plasmon resonance, Dual polarisation interferometry, Fluorescent microscopy, Confocal laser scanning microscopy, Total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy etc.
