Optical manipulation of single molecules in nanocontainers and nanotubes

现代医学很大程度上得益于仪器技术的进步。探测和操纵生物功能新方面的能力往往提供独特的信息，可作为新的医学治疗的基础。光学仪器和生化标记的最新进展使得在单分子水平上研究生物功能成为可能。本项目建议开发单分子操作的新技术，以执行使用当前技术不易解决的研究。拟议中的研究将成为澳大利亚研究人员在生物医学研究方面取得突破的技术基础，有可能改善医疗保健。

Modern medicine has benefited greatly from technological advances in instrumentation. The ability to probe and manipulate new aspects of biological function often provides unique information that can be used as the basis of new medical treatments. Recent advances in optical instrumentation and biochemical labelling has enabled the study of biological function at the single molecule level. This project proposes to develop new techniques in single molecule manipulation, to perform studies not easily addressable using current techniques. The proposed research will form the basis of an enabling technology for Australian researchers to make breakthroughs in biomedical research, potentially leading to improvements in healthcare.
