We are developing different projects with the aim to understand molecular mechanisms underlying biological events at the nanoscale, manipulating cells and nucleic acids.
Projects list:
The SingleMoleculeDetection (SMD) proposal will integrate on the same device an atomic force microscope (AFM) or an optical tweezer (OT), with Raman/SERS/IR/TeraHertz microscopy so to perform simultaneously - and in a dynamic way - force and spectroscopic measurements.
Objective of BINASP is to build-up a system of bio-nanotechnology research infrastructures and facilities in AREA Science Park (Trieste-Friuli Venezia Giulia-Italy), within the context of the newly formed “TDMB-Technology District of Molecular Biomedicine” set up in the Region Friuli Venezia Giulia at the end of 2004.
FOCUS, will build a novel generation of biologically inspired molecular devices (MDs) based on the developments of new photonic tools. These photonic tools will use Plasmon Polariton technology, enabling focused light spots with a diam. 10 nm.
