The research group comprises of three subgroups. Materials and Fluidics, fundamental research into nanoparticle synthesis by investigating the creation of multifunctional biocompatible particles within bespoke chemical reactors. Aptamers, we engineer the surfaces of the materials to be biocompatible and equip them with a capacity to selectively target analytes though DNA aptamers. Sensors, using tunable resistive pulse sensing, TRPS, to characterise nanomaterials and biological particles
