Background My research activities can be summarized in the framework of nanobiophysics with especial emphasis on structural biology, physics of molecular recognition and conformational dynamics of single (bio-)molecules using scanning probe methods, force spectroscopy technologies and nanophotonics. My goal is to develop and improve nanobiophysical techniques (in particular the combination of cutting-edge force and optical technologies) and to apply them to fundamental biological processes, structures and nanomaterials such as gene regulation, transcription, translation, molecular machines, and charge transfer in bacterial nanowires.
