NanomechanicsLab

At Nanomechanics Lab, we specialize in single-molecule force spectroscopy, cell mechanics, and ligand-receptor interactions using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Our research focuses on understanding the mechanical behavior of biomolecules and cells at nanometer precision. But we don’t just use AFM—we build it. By developing custom AFM systems with interferometer-based detection, we push the limits of sensitivity beyond what commercial AFMs can offer. This allows us to capture ultra-precise measurements, revealing molecular interactions that would otherwise go unnoticed. . 💡 What We Study: 🔹 How proteins fold, unfold, and interact under force 🔹 How cells respond to mechanical stress and adhesion 🔹 How ligand-receptor pairs recognize and bind with incredible precision 🌍 Join Us on This Journey We collaborate with researchers and institutions worldwide, always looking for new challenges and insights.
