Justin Gooding, Professor at UNSW Sydney
Justin Gooding's research group specialises in the molecule level modification of surfaces, using self-assembled monolayers, biological molecules and nanomaterials to impart a desired functionality to that surface.
The desired functionalities could be to:
1. Selectively detect an analyte - biosensors and nanodiagnostics
2. Influence biological processes - biomaterials and nanotherapeutics
3. Allow efficient electrical communication with biological molecules - bioelectronics
4. To enable fundamental studies into electron transfer at surfaces - molecules electronic
