Melody Candia's Company Details
We are a laboratory devoted to the study of soft matter systems working at the Instituto de Investigaciones Fisicoquímicas y Aplicadas (INIFTA) in the Department of Chemistry of the Universidad Nacional de La Plata (UNLP). Our approach is multidisciplinary, involving concepts and expertise from chemistry, physics, biomedical engineering, and materials science. We pursue the goal of understanding the relationship between molecular structure, molecular function and macroscopic properties. In this context, we are particularly interested in designing and building soft materials and devices with unprecedented properties and functions. The research projects on which we are presently working involve the integration of functional molecular systems into devices and platforms for different specific purposes. The devices of current interest are solid-state nanopores, graphene-based field-effect transistors and bioelectrochemical sensors.
