Nanobiotechnology and Biointeractions
Head: Doc. RNDr. Petr Skládal, CSc.
Main Activity
Methodologies for scanning probe imaging of biological samples ranging from individual molecules to tissues, nanomanipulations and nanolithography, immobilisation and modification techniques, biosensor and calorimetry-based investigation of biomolecular interactions in real time.
Unique Features
The successful application of nanobiotechnologies and biosensor-related techniques in biology requires a multidisciplinary knowledge in biochemistry, biophysics, bioorganic chemistry, material science, electronics and image analysis. Centralised organisation of instrumentation and a team of experienced researchers will ensure expert services for untrained users and the cost-effective use of resources. Benefits include simple access to promising nano -methods, shortened preliminary experimentation and the quick generation of high-quality data.
Key Equipment (Core Facility fully operational from 2014)
- Combined AFM / inverted optical microscopes
- SPR biosensors
- AFM microscopy systems for nanobiointeractios
- Isothermal titration calorimeter
- Multichannel SPR system
