Research
Like the Google search engine reacts on your requests, the Molecular Search Engines will experimentally provide you information about relevant molecules or molecule-based processes. Molecular Search Engines copy evolutionary principle: they use the diversity of the combinatorial molecules and the selection of binding events in the array format. Generation of super high density molecular arrays is the main goal of our research. To develop the Molecular Search Engines, we use our ERC-grant awarded approach of combinatorial monomer patterning with “smart” particles. We also develop high throughput screening applications in life and material sciences.
