Nano-Bio Interface Laboratory

We are an interdisciplinary research group developing functional nanomaterials for applications in imaging, sensing, and photonics. A particular focus is on the development of nanomaterial probes for elucidating fundamental cellular processes and characterizing nanoparticle – cell interactions. Lab members come from a variety of backgrounds, including physical chemistry, physics, biomedical engineering, and materials science engineering.

Current research areas include:

Plasmon Coupling Microscopy

Bioplasmonics

Artificial Virus Nanoparticles

Nanoparticle-controlled Cellular Signaling

Plasmonic Catalysis

Plasmonic Microbe Inactivation

We have open positions for undergraduate and graduate students. Feel free to email Dr. Reinhard (bmr@bu.edu) if you are interested in our research!
