Celebrating Rosh Hashanah in Meller lab
As we welcome the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, our lab takes a moment to reflect on the past year and embrace the opportunities ahead.
We raised a toast to celebrate the new year together.
Meller lab team new paper in Advanced Materials journal
Full-Length Single Protein Molecules Tracking and Counting in thin Silicon Channels
In this paper, we introduce a single-molecule method for parallel protein separation and tracking, yielding multi-dimensional and are electrophoretically separated by their mass/charge in custom-designed thin silicon channel with subwavelength height. This approach allows us to analyse thousands of individual proteins within a few minutes by tracking their motion during the migration. We demonstrate the power of the method by quantifying a cytokine panel for host-response discrimination between viral and bacterial infections.
Happy Holidays from the Meller lab family to Yours.
Dr. Yulia Marom and Dr. Navneet C. Verma from our lab. present the fabrication process of our sensor that can detect single biological molecules - in a 'Holidays' edition.
The tiny sensor (only 4x4 mm), is made of a thin silicon piece that is coated with photoresist (the red material in the video), and the special pattern is exposed to UV light by digital lithography.
The development of the sensor is a significant breakthrough in the early diagnosis of diseases, allowing early treatment and saving lives.
Our lab members represented us in SMPS3 conference in Delft, the Netherlands.
Dr. Yulia Marom, Dr. Navneet Verma Chandra, Neeraj, Liran, Shilo, Noam, and Prof. Meller presented our research in single molecule sequencing. The group presented five different posters, each one on a different topic.
Meller lab won the 2022 MOST Sweden-Israel award.
Prof. Meller is among the recipients of this year’s awards - The MOST Sweden-Israel award with his colleagues at the Royal Institute of Technology, to develop novel plasmonic nanopore sensors for clinical bio molecular markers.
Prof. Meller won The Diane Sherman Prize for Medical Innovation for a Better World
