Funded Activity Summary

Optical manipulation of single molecules in nanocontainers and nanotubes. Modern medicine has benefited greatly from technological advances in instrumentation. The ability to probe and manipulate new aspects of biological function often provides unique information that can be used as the basis of new medical treatments. Recent advances in optical instrumentation and biochemical labelling has enabled the study of biological function at the single molecule level. This project proposes to develop new techniques in single molecule manipulation, to perform studies not easily addressable using current techniques. The proposed research will form the basis of an enabling technology for Australian researchers to make breakthroughs in biomedical research, potentially leading to improvements in healthcare.
