Research Interests
Patterning of surfaces with molecular resolution, using Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) with applications in nanoelectronics.
Biochemical Nanophotolithography - Modification of biological surfaces using Near-field Scanning Optical Microscopy (NSOM) induced photochemistry - applications to biodevices (biochips, biosensors).
Clustering of membrane proteins - real time imaging of dynamic clusters of MHC-I proteins, using Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy (TIRF), computerized image analysis and modeling - applications in controlling of immune system response.
Directing growth and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells by micro patterning of the substrate, early stages of biomineralization and the biological mechanisms that dominate them.
