This project will study:(1) Novel microscopy instrumentation and their application to biomedical problems;
(2) Understanding of structure/function of single proteins, non-invasive methods to detect skin cancerNanoscale interfaces to biological moleculesControl of activity of DNA and proteins by an attached nanoparticle; and
(3) Inner-workings of proteins, enzymes and biology motors, using instrumentation that combines optical tweezers, single molecule fluorescence and pulsed spectroscopyDeveloping molecular description of structural, mechanical, dynamic and energetic induced motions.
