The main goal of the group is to develop new experimental setups based on atomic force microscopy and new theoretical frameworks enabling the quantification of the electrical properties of biological systems at the nanoscale (including biomembranes, single viruses, single bacteria cells and eukaryotic cells). The main aim is to contribute to develop new label-free biological nanoscale characterization methods and new electronic biosensors. Furthermore, the group objective is to develop the multiparametric atomic force microscopy for the simultaneous, label-free biophysical characterization (mechanical and electrical) of clinical samples at meso and nanoscales.
