A Synthetic Electronic Nanopore for DNA Sequencing

and Stochastic Sensing

Davis Sneider, Aaron Choi, and Saifuddin Aijaz

With Mentors: Dr. David Wendell, Dr. Vasile Nistor, and Ms. Elizabeth Wurtzler

GoalsLearn and apply how nanopores can be used as

sensors

Learn how nanopores are helpful with sequencing

Publish a paper countering the position of the creator of nanopores we are using.

TasksAnalyze data using QuB

Paint lipid membranes

Use nanopores as sensors for Norovirus

Use nanopores for DNA sequencing method

Time Schedule Work on paper throughout, updating the

preliminary information as we go

Work on the PowerPoint throughout, adding important information and data as we go

Work on the poster in the last two weeks after summarizing our data and making findings

Learn to paint membranes, learn how to sense nanovirus, learn how to sequence DNA if time permits.
