#biosensor — Academic Profiles

Dr. Adam Damry

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.
