Curriculum Vitae
Curriculum Vitae CVMission
Many biomolecules show remarkably more complex behavior at the single-molecule level than it is observed in bulk, ensemble-averaged experiments. It is now evident that sparsely populated molecular sub-states are vital for the biological function. Insights into complex behavior can be gained through manipulation, imaging or sensing of single biomolecules.Single-molecule techniques can provide us with extraordinarily clear and often surprising views of biomolecules in action. Development of appropriate instrumentation has been identified as the key ingredient for advances in biophysical sciences. Three most important examples here are single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM), optical tweezers and nanopores. SMLM made it possible to see by visualizing single fluorophores in living cells while laser-based optical tweezers allowed us to touch with experiments on physical forces involved in stretching and binding of biomolecules, while nanopores, the simplest and the most recent single molecule technique allows for rapid and high-throughput biosensing and discrimination of attomolar molecule concentrations.

Current work
My lab works in the research field that can be termed single molecule biophysics. We develop techniques and methodologies based on optical imaging, biosensing and single molecule manipulation with the aim to monitor the behavior of individual biological molecules and complexes in vitro and in live cells. Our current research is focused on three major directions:(i) Developing and using nanopores as platform for molecular sensing and manipulation. In particular we focus on solid-state nanopores realized either in glass nanocapillaries, or on suspended 2d-material membranes and standard silicon-nitride membranes.
(ii) Studying how biomolecules function, especially how proteins and nucleic acids interact, using force-based manipulation single-molecule techniques, in particular optical tweezers, optical wrench system, Anti- Brownian Electrokinetic (ABEL) trap and combination of nanopore/nanocapillaries with OT.
(iii) Developing super-resolution optical microscopy, based on single molecule localizations (SMLM) in cells with molecular-scale resolution, with an aim to extract quantitative information.
