Joshua C. Foster

Joshua C. Foster's research focuses on engineering biological nanopores—tiny protein channels—to detect and analyze individual protein molecules as they pass through, a technique used for single-molecule biosensing. His work includes redesigning a pore-forming protein called OmpG to capture and identify proteins, peptides, and antibodies, with applications in drug discovery, diagnostics, and studying protein transport at the molecular level. Earlier work also touched on ion channel receptors relevant to pharmacology and neuroscience.

Publication output was low and sporadic from 2017-2021 but increased notably from 2022 onward, suggesting a growing and more active recent research output.
