研究领域

Our investigations apply a nanoengineering approach using structural characterization, nanofabrication and properties measurements at surfaces. Research projects provide cross-disciplinary training for students, applying analytical methods to solve problems in combination with systematic studies using analytical chemistry, surface science and protein chemistry. Scientific discoveries in the emerging field of nanoscience are the foundation of new technologies in areas such as molecular electronics, bioinformatics, medical diagnostics, and drug discovery. Techniques applied in our lab for characterizing thin films, biomolecules and nanomaterials include: * High-resolution imaging using atomic force microscopy (AFM) & scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) * Fluorescence microscopy * Conductive probe measurements using AFM/STM * Measurements of surface properties (elasticity, magnetic, friction and adhesion forces) * Development of nanoscale lithographies for structuring surfaces Nanoengineering is applied to optimize the affinity and selectivity of surfaces of biosensors and biochips.Surfaces can be engineered to avoid non-specific protein adsorption, and yet make specific interactions with targeted proteins to be assayed. Very few surfaces are protein resistive, and it is still a major challenge to understand the mechanisms that contribute to protein resistance or adhesion. Designed surfaces are useful for viewing antigen-antibody binding at the nanometer scale, to assess the specificity of binding, and to evaluate protein orientation and the accessibility of targeted ligands. Lithographic approaches have been developed for constructing nanostructured surfaces for fundamental studies of protein binding. Particle lithography with proteins can be applied to organize viable protein nanostructures for biosensing. AFM-based lithography with self-assembled monolayers can be used to rapidly and reproducibly create precise arrays of nanometer-sized test structures on surfaces. The height, density, and surface chemistry of nanopatterns can be fine-tuned by the selection of thiolated molecules to be patterned, with designated chain lengths and terminal groups. In situscanning probe methods provide precise control of surface reaction conditions such as spatial arrangement, chemical composition, and density of ligands. Strengths of an in situ SPM-based approach include the highly local level of morphological detail, as well as imaging and fabrication capabilities in near-physiological, buffered liquid environments. These studies can facilitate the development of new approaches for immobilization and bioconjugation chemistries, which are key technologies used in manufacturing biochip and biosensing surfaces The reliability and sensitivity of biosensing and biochip technologies depend on the affinity, viability and accessibility of immobilized biological components. Engineering surfaces using the feedback of in situ nanoscale characterization may substantially improve protein detection, revealing detailed information regarding the bioaffinity of designed surfaces. To advance analytical chemistry measurements to the ultimate limits of sensitivity, miniaturization offers rewards of reduced quantities of analytes and reagents, increased density of sensor and chip elements, faster reaction/response time and potential for massive parallel analyses.
