Research interests

My research is primarily focused on the design, development and application of Ion Conductance Microscopy in combination with other scanning probe and live imaging techniques to a wide range of biological studies. I introduce latest technological advances to ion conductance microscopy and push its performance to the limits aiming to create powerful and versatile technique that can answer questions currently unaddressable by other methods. Recent improvements in resolving power and imaging rate have played a pivotal role and made it possible to directly image endocytosis in living cells. This now opens a possibility for detailed studies of such important process as receptor cycling, drug delivery and infection.

 

Self-funded students (full-time PhD only) are welcome if they are interested in either Scanning Probe Microscopy (SICM, SECM), programming of control systems, electrochemistry, biophysics, live cell imaging, cell membrane transport, cell and molecular biology.
