Nanomedicine and Nanobiotechnology Laboratory

Small.  Interesting.  Biophysical.  Useful.

Home

The Laboratory is engaged in several research and early-stage technology development activities involving polypeptide-based biomaterials. 

Members of the Laboratory are especially interested in the use of physical methods for analysis of structural and functional properties of natural or designed biomaterials.

The biomaterials of interest include polyelectrolyte multilayer films and electrospun nanofibers.
