Welcome to the Cady Research Group

We are part of the exciting new Nanobioscience Constellation at the College of Nanoscale Science & Engineering (University at Albany, SUNY).  One of our key areas of research is developing methods to study biological processes at the nano- and micro-scale. To study these systems, we focus on the development of biosensors and novel biological detection technologies. Beyond our research in biosensors, we also focus on basic nanobioscience research. We are particularly interested in how living cells interact with their environment at the nanoscale and how they adhere to, move along, and penetrate different surfaces. By better understanding how cells interact with their physical environment, we hope to provide insight for bioengineering applications such as materials biocompatibility, prosthetics and medical device design.
