The Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center at University of Aarhus participates through
Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) and the
Retroviral Molecular Biology
(RMB) () groups who collaborate with respect to studies of cell adhesion on structured
surfaces. The SPM group is internationally recognized for high-resolution STM studies, in particular of
dynamic phenomena on surfaces visualized in the form of movies. Moreover, the SPM group has broad expertise
with respect to surface properties and their characterization. The RMB group is internationally recognized
for work on viral gene transfer and virus-host interactions in cellular and animal models. The RMB
group also does work at the interface to biotechnology industry and holds more than ten patents. Recent studies
within iNANO of the interaction of biomolecules with surfaces include water adsorption on TiO2 surfaces,
adsorption of amino acids and other organic molecules on metal surfaces as well as parallel studies of
cell adhesion using cryo-SEM and QCM-D.
