Overview

About the program

In our Bionanoscience research programs at the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) we apply innovative tools from nanotechnology to understand molecular mechanisms at the single-molecule scale. We develop nanoscopy techniques to observe the dynamics of molecules in their native environment at high resolution.

We use biomimetic and synthetic biology approaches to recreate functional cellular modules, and we combine all these approaches with cell biology, biochemistry, and theoretical modelling.

Our goals are ambitious: for example, we aim to develop technology that allows to determine the sequence of a single protein using advanced fluorescence techniques.

We aim to understand the functional relation between gene expression and the three-dimensional organization of DNA-protein complexes in cells, and we aim to re-build essential biological functionality from molecular components using a bottom-up approach, eventually leading to the design of a synthetic cell.
