报告摘要：

New methods to analyse living biosystems are in great demand in research, diagnostics, and homeland security. Of relevance are methods that allow simple, label-free, inexpensive, and portable detection of bioanalytes. In my talk, I will present how nanopores meet these criteria and advance bioanalysis. In nanopore sensing, individual molecules pass through a nanoscale hole and are detected based associated electrical current. Nanopores have pioneered portable DNA sequencing and stand to revolutionise protein analysis.
