Bio: We're a newly established lab looking at how proteins behave at solid interfaces. Most of our understanding of protein science comes from fluid environments. However, solids are another incredibly relevant medium to modern biotech applications, and we don't yet have a strong understanding of how proteins interact with them.

Our research program aims to start filling in these holes using whatever tools we can find, make, or dream up. With so much of the landscape uncharted, we'll be pioneers of sorts, but that's the exciting part! Along the way, we'll use what we learn to create biological tools with real world applications. From plastic degrading enzymes for bioremediation and recycling to immobilized enzymes in personalized medical devices to functional enzyme-linked scaffolds for industrial processes, the possibilities are endless.
