Congratulations to Eran on his ACS Nano paper reporting fast and deterministic nanopore drilling
In a latest publication, we develop a custom algorithm (called NLDA) and software to deliver a deterministic fashion of sub-nanopore laser drilling. We provide a full recipe to obtain the fabricated pores with a preset diameter (error) in less than two minutes. The in situ technique enables instant protein sensing following the nanopore formation. Our findings bring insights into the laser-drilled nanopore 3D shape, which contributes to the sensor’s biomolecule capture capabilities.
The lab perspective paper on the emerging field of single-molecule protein identification is out on Nature Methods
Single-cell profiling methods have had a profound impact on the understanding of cellular heterogeneity. While genomes and transcriptomes can be explored at the single-cell level, single-cell profiling of proteomes is not yet established. Here we describe new single-molecule protein sequencing and identification technologies alongside innovations in mass spectrometry that will eventually enable broad sequence coverage in single-cell profiling. These technologies will in turn facilitate biological discovery and open new avenues for ultrasensitive disease diagnostics.

The lab's research on Single Protein Sensing is featured in the Israel Precision Medicine Program website
Our paper entitled: "On‑chip protein separation with single‑molecule resolution” that was published recently in Scientific Reports, was featured on the Israel Science Foundation Israel Precision Medicine Program (ISF IPMP) website.
In this project, our protein sensing technology will be used to identify protein biomarkers associated with Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) disease in collaboration with researchers at Hadassah medical center in Jerusalem, Israel. Our Ph.D. team including Navneet Verma, Postdoctoral fellow, Shilo Ohayon, Ph.D. student, and Noam Freundlich, MSc student continue to promote the research in the project.
