Bio-innovations for a safe, secure, and healthy society

Nanodevices with nanopores and nanogaps can be used to measure a single biomolecule via an electric current. Nanopores thus enable the analysis of a wide range of targets, including bacteria, DNA, proteins, RNA, and viruses. A nanogap is typically the core unit in a single-molecule quantum sequencer, and these are used for the determination of small biomolecules, such as DNA, peptides, and RNA. The application of nanopores and nanogaps has promoted new discoveries in the fields of biology, pharmacy, and medicine. In particular, they have been widely used in the development of innovative methods for the diagnosis of disease and digital platforms to detect and identify a wide variety of biomolecules by optimizing nanostructures for the measurement of specific targets.
