Biological Nanostructures Facility

Welcome to the Nanobio Facility!

We are a one of five DOE Office of Science sponsored user facilities for nanoscience research.

Want to work in our Facility? Submit a proposal to the Molecular Foundry. We have two calls for standard proposals each year, with deadlines of March 31 and September 30.

Our Expertise

We use X-ray micro-second Footprinting to probe structures of proteins and biomaterials.

We invent novel luminescent nanocrystals and organic fluorophores as biosensors and single-molecule probes.

We use synthetic biology to re-engineer organisms and create hybrid biomolecules to interface with devices.

We develop new materials based on the folding and assembly of sequence-defined, bioinspired polymers (including peptides, nucleic acids, and peptoids).
