  <research>Alexander Stoyanov does research with the UNO/RIC Nanopore Cheminformatics Project, with particular focus on the buffer and bilayer conditions that are  used during nanopore detector operations. Dr. Stoyanov is also helping with  the study of binding interactions using the nanopore detector via the introduction of chaotropic agents to the buffer. Dr. Stoyanov is also performing parallel studies of capillary electrophoresis and nanopore characterization of molecules and molecular populations.</research>
