Rastislav Levicky's Biography

Rastislav Levicky, Associate Professor, NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering

Our research aims to advance technologies for analyzing interactions between biologically-relevant molecules. For example, we are interested in fundamental understanding of the molecular processes that underpin functioning of devices such as microarrays, optimization of these processes for applications, and translation of this knowledge to improved technological solutions. Examples of current projects include development of assays based on synthetic DNA mimics for pathogen and gene expression analysis, and design of scalable platforms for rapid assessment of small molecule-nucleic acid interactions.
