研究领域
We explore and use the unique properties of nanomaterials to control and investigate processes in complex biological systems. The nanomaterials serve as building blocks to engineer functional nanoscaled devices that interface cells. These devices are able to collect information or control processes in cells and finally biological functions. A major biological motivation of our work is the understanding of complex chemical processes in cell circuits such as neural circuits in the brain. For this purpose, it is first of all necessary to know which molecules are released when and where. Then it is desirable to control cellular functions. Finally, all tools are merged together and interfaced with biological systems. While developing these new tools we study fundamental processes of nano materials in crowded biological solutions in order to gain a quantitative understanding of the underlying physical chemistry. Our long-term goal is to elucidate chemical communication in cell circuits and to engineer tools that can listen and talk with cells in their own (physical and chemical) language. Therefore we work on nanoscaled sensors, actuators and intelligent nanodevices.
