Stefan Howorka is a Professor of Chemical Biology at University College London, specializing in Chemical Biology, DNA Nanotechnology, Biophysics, Biochemistry, and Nucleic Acids Chemistry. His research focuses on developing nanopore-based technologies for single-molecule sensing and analysis, including the detection of DNA strands, protein analytes, and molecular cargo transport across biological membranes. He explores the structural and mechanistic aspects of nanopores, such as engineered voltage-responsive systems and DNA-based channels, with applications in proteomics and biosensing. His work also involves the design of DNA nanopores spanning lipid bilayers and their use in biomimetic systems for controlled molecular transport.
