Shilo Ohayon, a Ph.D. student in our group, won the best poster presentation at the NanoIL 2021.
His poster title : "On-chip protein separation with single-molecule resolution using SDS-PAGE nanochannels”.
The research's main aim is to identify and quantify proteins at a single molecule level using nanochannels. The use of nanochannel allows real-time tracking of the translocating proteins by a computer vision algorithm. The data obtained from each protein enables the identification of the protein and, by that, the whole sample. In the future, this technology could manifest faster and more efficient identification of proteins in biological and clinical samples and eventually will help in more accurate diagnostics.
