The NanoBio Group’s research interests lie at the interface of physics, microbiology, and nanotechnology. Our work targets the interface between biological and inorganic systems. We study cell-surface interactions as well as the electronic and enzymatic activity of extracellular nanostructures, such as bacterial nanowires and redox-reactive vesicles involved in microbe-inorganic interactions. Armed with the basic physics, we harness this understanding towards a new generation of biotechnological devices that exploit extracellular electron transport in the areas of bioenergy, bioremediation, and biosynthesis of nanomaterials.
