The main research areas in the Reinhard Laboratory are Bioplasmonics, Nano-Bio Interface and Materials Science. We develop plasmonic nano-scale probes to probe, control, and reverse-engineer biological functionality. We are particularly interested in elucidating the fundamental principles that govern cell-nanoparticle interactions, spatial regulation of signaling, and biomimetic energy harvesting systems.
