Principal Investigator- Professor Jens Gundlach
- Email: jens@phys.washington.edu
-
Jens started his career at the University of Washington studying nuclear physics (PhD, 1990) before becoming a gravitational physicist.
He stumbled upon nanopore sequencing in 2002 and with the assistance of his then-gravity student Tom Butler, our project was born.
Jens now splits his time and runs two labs: his gravity group at CENPA, and the nanopore physics group.
Post Docs- Dr. Ian Derrington
- Email: iand
- Website: http://www.phys.washington.edu/users/iand/about.html
-
Ian graduated in 2005 from the University of Colorado, Boulder with degrees in Applied Mathematics, and Summa Cum-Laude in Engineering Physics.
In late 2006 he has pursued his doctoral research with the group helping to design and test MspA for DNA sequencing. His first publication with the group,
"Single-molecule DNA detection with an engineered MspA protein nanopore" was published in PNAS.
He graduated with his PhD in 2011 and has remained with the group as a post doc.
Graduate Students- Elizabeth Manrao
- Email: manrao
- Liz is originally from California and holds degrees in both engineering and physics. She worked as an engineer in Hawaii for a short time prior to becoming a physicist.
She joined our group in autumn 2008 and has been working on characterizing the regognition site of MspA and developing a method to slow DNA movement through the pore.
She plans to complete her PhD this Fall.
Andrew Laszlo- Email: laszloa
- Andrew graduated in 2009 from the University of Colorado at Boulder with a BA in Physics and a Math minor. He joined the group in the spring of 2010
and is helping develop MspA for DNA sequencing.
Lab Technicians- Kyle Langford
- Kyle graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in biochemistry and has been working in the lab since 2007.
Kyle first made freestanding mycolic acid membranes and is first author on the paper Unsupported planar lipid membranes formed from mycolic acids of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
- Matthew Hopper
- Matthew graduated from the University of California at Santa Cruz in 2011 majoring in bioengineering with a concentration in bioelectronics.
As an undergraduate, he worked with the Akeson lab studying nanopore sequencing. He has been with our group since autumn 2011.
- Nathaniel Gillgren
- Nathaniel graduated from the University of Washington in 2011 majoring in physics.
He has been working with our group since spring 2009.
He will start graduate school in physics this fall.
- Joshua Bartlett
- Josh is currently an undergraduate student in the chemistry department at the University of Washington.
He joined our group in spring 2011.
- David Feldman
- David graduated from the University of Washington in 2011 majoring in physics.
He has been working with our group since 2007 and has been integral in developing our data aquisition software.
He will start graduate school in physics this fall.
