We are a new biophysics lab at USC, working at the intersection of physics, biology, and nanotechnology. Please see our Research and Publications pages for more information.

Prospective PhD Students: Students at USC interested in joining the lab should e-mail Prof. El-Naggar directly. If you’re applying to the graduate program at USC, please follow the instructions here, and indicate your interest in joining El-Naggar group. Our lab is housed at the Seaver Science Center, within the Department of Physics & Astronomy. Our work is very interdisciplinary, and we welcome students and postdoctoral researchers from many different backgrounds:
  • Physics, Applied Physics, Biophysics
  • Microbiology, Molecular Biology
  • Engineering (Bio, Biomedical, Chemical, Mechanical, Electrical, & Materials Science)
  • Chemistry & Biochemistry
Postdoctoral Researchers: Postdoctoral positions have been filled for 2009. However, if you’re interested in future postdoctoral work, please e-mail us, indicating your research interests.
