cdsMiniature Biosensors

Our group performs research on novel methods for sensing and sequencing nucleic acids, proteins and chemical compounds with an emphasis on simplicity, low Size, Weight and Power (SWaP), and stability under challenging field conditions. Our approaches to nucleic acid sensing use CRISPR/Cas recognition systems combined with molecular reporters for detection and nanopore sequencing for unknown target identification. We are exploring the use of small single molecule protein sequencing platforms and developing novel bioinformatics alg...
