John Kasianowicz
Dr. Kasianowicz's research was the basis for a variety of cutting edge basic research methods and technologies, which include
two nanopore-based single molecule DNA sequencing technologies
single molecule characterization, quantification, and identification,
discriminating between individual molecules based on their size and charge adsorbed to them,
elucidating the mechanisms of anthrax toxin action,
single molecule thermodynamics and kinetics, and
a novel method for membrane protein structure determination
His work led to new funding initiatives by the NIH, DARPA, the NSF, and IARPA
He is a co-inventor on 8 patents (6 issued, 2 pending) and his contributions to basic science and technology were recognized with several awards and honors, including the US Dept. of Commerce Silver Medal and a Fellow of the American Physical Society’s Division of Biological Physics
John has authored or co-authored 90 publications that have been cited nearly 13,000 times (Google Scholar), and has given over 240 invited lectures, seminars, & contributed papers (including 5 keynote and 24 plenary lectures) at conferences and institutions world-wide.
