Nanopore Research Group

Who are we?

We seek to develop nanopore-based sensing and sequencing techniques for biomedical and healthcare applications. Our current research activities look at several aspects of nanopore technology such as, micro and nano-fabrication techniques, biochemical functionalization, novel read-out methods, computational modeling and molecular dynamics simulations. We are situated in the Center for Nanoscience and Engineering (CeNSE) at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore.
