Biography

Ann-Sofie Cans is a Professor at Chalmers University, specializing in Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Chemical Engineering. She is leading pioneering research programs that focus on nanosensor engineering and artificial cell structures. Her research investigates the chemistry and biophysics of cells, particularly in the context of neuronal communication. Current projects under her guidance explore the development and application of artificial cell models, which include areas such as quantitative amperometric measurements of lipid composition effects on membrane dynamics, and sorting in high curvature regions of nanotube biomembranes. Additionally, her work involves DNA-zipper-catalyzed artificial exocytosis and the development of millisecond time-resolved ultra-small biosensors, constructed from enzyme-nanoparticle bioconjugates for selective probing of molecules in vivo within the brain.
