Nano-Optoelectrodes Enabled Multimodal Optical-Electrical Interface inside Cells
Abstract
The progress of instrumentation and methodology for interfacing with biological systems hassignificantly impacted on fundamental biology science as well as many healthcare applications. However, simultaneous multimodal monitoring of various biophysical and biochemical processes inside living cells remains a significant challenge. The rapid advance in nanotechnology has truly expanded our toolbox of nanoscale sensors and actuators that can be used to monitor and actuate biological systems at subcellular level. In this research, the PI proposes to design and use plasmonic nano-optoelectrode as a nano-enabled hybrid interface inside cells for real-time multimodal monitoring of both bioelectrical and biochemical activities in a spatiotemporally correlated fashion.
