© 2019 Current materials used for in vitro 3D cell culture are often limited by their poor similarity to human tissue, batch-to-batch variability and complexity of composition and manufacture. Here, we present a “blank slate” culture environment base... Read More about Peptide gels of fully-defined composition and mechanics for probing cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions in vitro.

Hybrid photonic-plasmonic platform for high-throughput single-molecule studies (2019)
Journal Article
Mossayebi, M., Parini, A., Wright, A. J., Somekh, M. G., Bellanca, G., & Larkins, E. C. (2019). Hybrid photonic-plasmonic platform for high-throughput single-molecule studies. Optical Materials Express, 9(6), 2511-2522. https://doi.org/10.1364/OME.9.002511

We present the design and numerical characterization of a hybrid photonic-plasmonic nanoresonator comprised of a 2D photonic crystal (PhC) cavity, a gold bowtie nanoantenna (BNA) and a silicon dioxide, SiO2, spacer. This device is designed to serve a... Read More about Hybrid photonic-plasmonic platform for high-throughput single-molecule studies.
