Laboratory of Biophysical Microstructures

Our research group is focused on measurements of biophysical properties of biological samples. One of the most powerful tools used in these studies is Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) equipped with special device for measurements in liquids.

Main research topics

• measurements of elastic properties of living cells
• characterization of the interaction force between single ligand-receptor pairs
• designing of a new biosensor class based on protein micro-matrices
• measurements of a protein unfolding
