Our research projects are at the intersection of biology, chemistry, engineering, and physics and we collaborate across disciplines to carry out our multi-disciplinary scientific program required for state-of-the-art single-molecule characterization.
We are looking for undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral researchers to join us. Please get in touch if you are interested.
