Squiggles in DNA and RNA

Looking at molecules in the cell

A human cell is a world in itself. Molecules in it direct the cells inner processes and productivity. If something goes wrong other molecules make sure the cell dies off. The Bionanoscience Department of the Delft University of Technology develops techniques to unravel the world of molecules in the cell.

Researcher

Nynke Dekker

Nynke Dekker (1971) was trained as an atomic physicist, but has since 2002 focused on the interface of biophysics, nanotechnology, and biology.

Her research into single-molecule biophysics is of fundamental interest, but the understanding of biomolecular interactions is key to future medical applications.
