Our lab is running a successful, highly productive and internationally competitive research program in experimental biological physics. Our main tools are X-ray diffraction and elastic and inelastic neutron scattering to study molecular structure and dynamics in synthetic and native biological membranes, protein fibres, chitin and keratin structures. We conducted several first time experiments during the past NSERC Discovery funding periods and methodically developed experimental and analysis techniques. Our long term goal is to develop model systems and tools for the study of molecular structure and dynamics in biomaterials on relevant nanoscopic length and nanosecond time scales.

我们的实验室正在开展一项成功、高效且具有国际竞争力的实验生物物理学研究项目。我们的主要工具是 X 射线衍射以及弹性和非弹性中子散射，用于研究合成和天然生物膜、蛋白质纤维、甲壳质和角蛋白结构的分子结构和动力学。我们在过去的 NSERC Discovery 资助期间进行了多次首次实验，并系统地开发了实验和分析技术。我们的长期目标是开发模型系统和工具，用于在相关纳米长度和纳秒时间尺度上研究生物材料的分子结构和动力学。
