研究领域

Our research interests primarily focus on biomaterials and biomolecular assemblies, including lamellar and non-lamellar lipid bilayer structures, amyloid protein and peptide fibrils, and elastic protein networks. We are interested in developing methods to control, align and investigate these systems without their needing to be dehydrated or crystallised. Molecular alignment gives us a wealth of additional structural information on the biomolecules, using x-ray scattering and polarized vibrational spectroscopy (IR and Raman). In addition, the group has an interest in developing interactive animations and demonstrations based on Adobe (Macromedia) Flash, for use in teaching.
