Background

About Nabin Kandel

A molecular biophysicist by training with strong expertise on recombinant protein expression, purification, and therapeutic characterization, especially disease-related proteins and their interactions with lipid membrane. Key skills include: Solid State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (ssNMR); Solution NMR; Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM); Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR); Protein Purification; Fast/High Protein Liquid Chromatography (FPLC, HPLC); Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR); Fluorescence Spectroscopy; Circular Dichroism (CD) Spectroscopy; Optical Tweezers Microscopy; Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM); Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence (TIRF) Microscopy; Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation (QCM-D), Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS); Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR); Mass Spectroscopy MALDI–TOF; SDS–PAGE, NATIVE-PAGE, Western Blot, AlphaLISA, ELISA. As a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, I have been conducting cutting-edge research on the nanoscale phenomena of biomolecules, protein-protein interactions and protein-lipid interactions using advanced biophysical techniques. I have over 7 years of experience in the field of biophysics, with a focus on nanotechnology, therapeutic characterization of disease-related proteins and membrane dynamics. I have developed and applied various skills and methods, such as TIRF, Surface Plasmon Resonance, and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, FTIR, NMR etc. to investigate the structure, dynamics, and interactions of molecular systems. I have also contributed to the purification, and characterization of proteins. My goal is to advance the scientific understanding of nanoscale processes and to explore their potential applications in therapeutic medicine.
