Welcome to Meller lab, Ali Kayyal!
Ali Kayyal, new MSc student joined our Lab.
Ali’s research will focus on developing an innovative deep-learning approach for protein classification, using data derived from protein sensing and tracking experiments. This work aims to improve classification accuracy and reveal subtle patterns within protein structures and dynamics, advancing proteomic analysis.
Welcome to our team Ali and best of luck!
Our lab members in the S3IC conference in Paris
Neeraj Soni, a PhD student in our lab, along with postdocs Marzia Issorai and Sohini Pal, are currently participating in the S3IC Conference in Paris. They are engaging with leading experts in single-molecule sensors and nanosystems, presenting their research, and exchanging ideas on the latest advancements in nanotechnology.
The conference focuses on the most recent advances in micro and nano-sensing techniques that have either demonstrated single-molecule detection or that can advance or contribute towards single-molecule detection capability on sensor chips in the longer term.
For more details about the conference, visit S3IC Conference.
Congratulation to Neeraj soni for winning the Russell Berrie Nanotechnology Institute Excellence Prize
We are thrilled to announce that Neeraj Soni, our PhD student, has been awarded the Russell Berrie Nanotechnology Institute Excellence Prize 1 for the 2023-2024 academic year.
This prize is awarded to outstanding researchers in nanoscience and nanotechnology, funded by the Russell Berrie Nanotechnology Institute to recognize excellence and innovation in the field.
Congratulations to Neeraj on this well-deserved honor! We look forward to seeing his continued impact in the field of nanotechnology.
Congratulations to Noam Talor for passing her defense exam!
Our MSc student Noam Talor has successfully passed her defense examination. Noam also delivered a seminar explaining her research about “Single Molecules Biophysics and Bio-Nano Technology”, showcasing her expertise and the innovative nature of the lab research. Congratulations Noam!
Celebrating Rosh Hashanah in Meller lab
As we welcome the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, our lab takes a moment to reflect on the past year and embrace the opportunities ahead.
We raised a toast to celebrate the new year together.
we wish you a sweet and fulfilling new year! Shana Tova!
Prof. Meller awarded the ERC PoC grant
Prof. Meller was awarded the PoC grant for his work on fingerprinting single protein molecules for biomarker assisted precision medicine. The SMProTrack project aims to develop a groundbreaking single-molecule protein sensing method using silicon nano-channels and AI algorithms to achieve unmatched accuracy and detail. This low-cost, portable technology can detect multiple proteins from tiny samples. The project will validate its effectiveness with clinical samples by focusing on diagnosing age-related macular degeneration (AMD) via liquid biopsy. SMProTrack seeks a cost-effective, compassionate tool for rapid and accurate protein detection, with potential applications in various liquid biopsy diagnostics.
