  2. 1. Novel Functionalized Nanopores for Plasmonic Sensing

    Author : Bita Malekian; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; extinction spectra; nanopores; proteins; nanocaves; nanowells; surface plasmon resonance; nuclear pore complex; colloidal lithography; nanoplasmonic sensor; label-free sensing; electron beam lithography; plasmonic nanostructures;

    Abstract : Nanoplasmonic sensors offer a label-free platform for real-time monitoring of biomolecular interactions by tracking changes in refractive index through optical spectroscopy. However, other surface sensitive techniques such as conventional surface plasmon resonance offer similar capabilities with equal or even better resolution in terms of surface coverage. READ MORE

  5. 3. Poly(N-Isopropylacrylamide) Polymer Brush Functionalized Nanostructures as Thermo-Responsive Gating Systems for Protein Transportation

    Author : Justas Svirelis; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; biomolecule transportation; Poly N-Isopropylacrylamide ; polymer brushes; fluorescence microscopy; thermo-responsive polymers; surface plasmon resonance;

    Abstract : Controlling molecule translocation through nanosized gaps is of great interest in novel systems for single molecule analysis and biomolecular membranes. The molecular gating property of thermo-responsive end-grafted poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) polymer brushes on well-shaped gold-silica nanostructures is intended to be investigated for controlled protein transportation via extinction spectroscopy and fluorescence microscopy methods below and above PNIPAM lower critical solution temperature (LCST; 32 °C in water).

  6. 4. Biomolecule Trapping With Stimuli-Responsive Polymer Coated Nanostructures

    Author : Justas Svirelis; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; biomolecule transportation; protein interaction; polymer brushes; quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring; fluorescence microscopy; Poly N-Isopropylacrylamide ; surface plasmon resonance; poly ethylene glycol ;

    Abstract : Trapping biomolecules in nanosized gaps is of great interest in novel systems for single molecule analysis and membranes, which filter biomolecules. Current platforms are lacking in full functionality to facilitate biomolecule trapping and transport in their native environment and without covalent tethering to surfaces. READ MORE

  7. 5. Novel tools for the study and diagnosis of bacterial infections : exploring the intersection of microbiology and microfabrication

    Author : Charalampos Antypas; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The alarming increase in antibiotic resistance calls for new approaches to study and diagnose bacterial infections. In my thesis, I worked at the intersection of microbiology, microfabrication, and optical probes to develop novel diagnostic and screening assays for microbiology and elucidate bacterial pathogenesis in urinary tract infections (UTI).
