The Bio-SPM group investigates the physical and chemical properties of biomolecules and novel materials based on nano objects. To explore the functional properties of materials down to the molecular scale, we have developed and use a wide range of state-of-the-art scanning probe methods such as harmonic AFM techniques, SICM, EFM, MFM, SEM and TEM. Another important area of focus is the understanding and controlling of self-assembly of nano structures.
We are welcoming worldwide applications of all levels. If you are interested please send an email and your CV to Prof. Mingdong Dong dong@inano.au.dk.

21st February, 2022. Welcome Mostafa Salehirozveh to Bio-SPM Lab
Mostafa Salehirozveh comes from University of Bologna. Electrolyte particle counting and sizing and characterization of Individual particles in solution can be accurately performed using the resistive pulse sensing (RPS) method based on the Coulter principle. By using Silicon Nitride nanopores, he is able to identify and characterize individual particles such as amyloids, DNA polymers, and bacteria at Inano (Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center), Aarhus University.
Welcome!!!
10th January, 2022. Welcome Paolo Ciocci to Bio-SPM Lab
Paolo Ciocci comes from Université Paris Cité and his supervisor is Prof. Frederic Kanoufi. Paolo is developing deep learning architectures applied to RNA origami structures imaged by AFM. He is using convolutional neural networks in order to extract parameters on statistical populations of features, reducing the human bias which can affect data extraction from complex images

Following the general message from the University, the University is closed down from tomorrow until Jan 4, Bio-SPM Lab will follow the rules with a conditional access.
· You should work from home if you can
· We are allowed to maintain critical functions and research. Critical research activities are coordinated by our group leader, who are responsible for reducing the activities requiring physical presence at iNANO to a minimum.
· Meeting rooms are closed.
· The student helpers’ office will be open every day until Dec 23 (Mon-Thur 8-16, Fri 8-15:30). The student helpers will receive the parcels that get delivered and notify you if you get a parcel.
Keep safe!
