Walter Reisner is an academic affiliated with the Department of Physics at McGill University, focusing on the application of nanofluidic technology to biological systems at the smallest scales. The lab aims to develop new tools for monitoring and diagnosing diseases while quantifying the physics of biosystems through a bottom-up approach that involves analyzing individual biomolecules and bioparticles. Their research utilizes nanofluidic systems—networks of nanoscale fluid-filled components on a chip that manipulate and confine individual biomolecules for analysis, allowing for single molecule measurements to be performed without losing information through ensemble averaging. Ongoing research projects include dual nanopore devices for DNA feature mapping, quantifying interacting DNA molecules, and the integration of nanofluidic and nanophotonic technologies for studying extracellular vesicles. The Reisner lab actively welcomes talented students and postdoctoral fellows interested in these innovative fields.
