Temi di ricerca

Laboratory of Bio-Artificial Interfaces and Biosensors

In Nature, information is processed, stored and transmitted via dynamic biomolecular interactions, creating a communication system in which recognition, action and function are intimately connected. Integrating the natural principles of biology with the rational design typical of chemistry, materials science and nanotechnology will enable advanced technologies capable of processing molecular information and realizing custom function.

The goal of the lab is to develop new formats of biosensors and multiscale technologies for precision medicine. We aim to create novel bio-artificial interfaces and to design programmable molecular systems by following a multidisciplinary approach that leverages DNA nanotechnology, analytical chemistry, synthetic biology and materials chemistry. 

We are embedded in the Analytical Chemistry unit of the Chemistry Department, where we work together with Prof. Maria Careri, Marco Giannetto, Monica Mattarozzi and Federica Bianchi.
