I am investigating the interactions between biological cells and nanowires. In particular, I am using nanowires as a tool for cellular mechano-sensing, neural-network-on-a-chip applications and for biomolecule injection applications. I collaborate with researchers in Neurobiology and Medical Science to develop nanowire-based electrodes for neural implants. My work also involves investigating the toxicity of nanowires at the cell level and at the animal level.
