Neeraj Soni won the best presentation award at Single Molecule Biophysics Conference, France 2022
Neeraj Soni, a Ph.D. student in our group, won the best presentation award at Single Molecule Biophysics Conference, France 2022.
His presentation title : "Denatured protein translocations using sub 5 nm Solid-state nanopores”.
Proteins are the main constituents of all biological cells and are responsible for most of the cellular functions. Many of the current disease-specific biomarkers are proteins or modified versions of proteins hence creating a need for sensitive yet simple methods for protein identifications in clinical diagnostics applications. Herein, we developed a highly sensitive approach for identifying wide range lengths SDS denatured protein complexes. Given the simplicity and eradication of the tailor-made necessities, this assay holds the full potential to sequence the protein at a single-molecule level in the future.
Way to go Neeraj!
Meller lab won a grant for development of an automated system for nanopore fabrication.
The European Union is allocating another grant to our lab at the Technion, to accelerate innovative technology for drilling nanometric pores in thin membranes using a laser beam.
The final device will be used for the analysis of a single molecule for the benefit of rapid diagnosis of diseases including COVID-19.
