'Boosting' research to develop world's fastest nanomotor


Overview

Single molecule biophysics lies at the confluence of molecular medicine and nanotechnology. The Center uses nanotechnology to study physical processes on which life is based using the simplest model systems — those that exist on the level of a single molecule or several molecules. By doing this, researchers plan to gain a better understanding of gene regulation, molecular signaling and molecular transport in cells that will lead to improved biosensors and other new technologies.
