Diseases/Research Topics
DNA array/lab on a chip, Nanofabrication, Nanotechnology, Single Molecule Detection

The research in Michael Heller's laboratory focuses on the development of high performance bioanalytical techniques and technologies for genomic, proteomic and phamacogenomic applications. This includes novel devices (DNA array/lLab-on-a-Chip) and systems for mutation scanning, ultra-fast DNA sequencing, single molecule detection, and combinatorial selection processes.

The lab is also involved in nanotechology research, and related development of bio-molecular based mechanisms for photonic/electronic energy transfer, chemical to mechanical energy conversions, and DNA based self-organizing nanostructures for data storage and computation. They are also involved in the development of nanofabrication processes for the assembly of highly integrated macroscopic 2D and 3D structures from molecular and nanoscale components.
