2024 Moore Inventor Fellow
Dr. Laszlo has two primary research interests: single-molecule biophysics and nanopore sequencing of DNA, RNA, and peptides. Nanopores are nanometer-scale holes in a thin membrane. There are many uses for such pores, including incredibly sensitive tools that can be used to sequence DNA, RNA, and peptides. The team’s nanopore sequencer is a powerful single-molecule tool for observing the fundamental steps taken by motor enzymes such as helicases and polymerases. Nanopore tweezers work by effectively flipping the nanopore sequencing experiment on its head, using a known DNA or RNA sequence to study a motor enzyme’s motion along the strand. Nanopore tweezers allow us to observe and understand these enzymes with unprecedented detail.
