Hadeel Elayan

Hadeel’s invention utilizes Terahertz-Electromagnetic signals to sense and control protein folding using plasmonic nano-antennas.

Hadeel’s work stands out due to its innovative approach, applying wireless communication principles to biological interactions at the nanoscale, a concept inspired by the complexity and efficiency of evolving biological systems. By viewing every biological interaction as a form of communication involving information exchange, she uses nano-antennas as transmitters within the intra-body environment, treating it as a communication channel. In her framework, protein molecules serve as receivers, allowing for a deeper understanding and manipulation of biological processes. This groundbreaking methodology not only bridges the gap between synthetic technologies and biological systems but also opens new possibilities for nano-communication.
