• Our research focuses on the development and use of novel label-free detection methods based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy. Current projects are focused around the development of novel label-free DNA microarray technologies. Areas of study include: Electric field effects at interfaces: rapid mismatch discrimination by electric field induced denaturation. DNA/protein interactions: screening methods for anti-tumor aptamers as tumor targeting reagents. DNA/drug interactions: kinetics of binding novel platinum anti-tumor drugs with oligonucleotides.
