Summary:

Branton is a pioneer of nanopore sensing, having shown that single DNA/RNA molecules threading through a nanopore produce ionic-current signatures usable for single-molecule sequencing — foundational work underlying the modern solid-state and biological nanopore-sequencing industry, and a direct fit to the biosensing/single-molecule filter criterion.
