K-STATE PHYSICIST’S WORK WITH ATOMIC FORCE MICROSCOPE COULD LEAD TO TECHNOLOGIES FOR HEALTH CARE LIKE BETTER DIAGNOSTICS, DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF CANCER
Where biology, chemistry and physics intersect, a Kansas State University professor expects to find applications to improve human health.
Robert Szoszkiewicz, an assistant professor of physics at K-State, is continuing research on molecules both singularly and as a group. His study of proteins as a single molecule shows promise to help scientists understand the causes of diseases like some cancers. Meanwhile, his research on bunched molecules could lead to a more efficient way to identify antibodies in blood.
