Dr. Oh’s work at the JKU’s Institute for Biophysics (department head: Univ. Prof. Peter Hinterdorfer) focuses on SPM studies of cellular interactions with biofilm. The project aims to explore the unique physical, biochemical, and electrostatic properties of living bacterial cells and biofilms. Dr. Oh studies the molecular interactions of biofilms with immune system cells that play a key role in bacterial diseases.
