Nano Main Field: we are a molecular biophysics lab with a general emphasis in studying the role of mechanical forces in biology, and in particular in the function of the nucleic-acids processing machinery, using methods rooted in the physical sciences. We develop and use experimental methods to follow the nano-scale dynamics of individual biological machines such as polymerases, helicases and translocases.
Research interests:
*Single-molecule biophysics
*Force spectroscopy
*Molecular motors
