Dr. Jaan Noolandi
Affiliation: Xerox Research Centre of Canada
Jaan Noolandi, whose fundamental theoretical work has contributed to the better understanding of complex polymeric systems, including polymer blends, block copolymers, polymeric surfactants, reptation theory of entangled polymer melts, and gel electrophoresis of DNA, is one of the world's leading polymer physicists.
The work on pulsed electric field gel electrophoresis of single and double stranded DNA drew on an analogy with dispersive transport phenomena of charge in amorphous semiconductors. This work established a solid quantitative basis for the separation of charged macromolecules in a gel, allowing for subsequent applications of the pulsed field technique to DNA sequencing with an extended range of chemical base recognition. This work has supported the human genome project with both theory and hardware development and commercialization.
