Our research group's goal is to produce materials and bionanotechnology-oriented devices by using new concepts in biomolecule functionality and neuronal networks. We employ various techniques such as nano- and mircofabrication of fine structures, chemical synthesis and theoretical calculations. Particularly, we are interested in the dynamics and mechanics of lipidbilayers in microchannels and their applications, electrophysiology of neuronal circuits grown on microelectrode arrays, operation of metallic nano- structures and the assessment of its physical properties, and analysis of proteins on solid surfaces.
