Research Description
Our research deals with lung surfactant and model biological membranes. Studies the fundamental underpinnings of molecular organization of lipids and peptides with emphasis on revealing the molecular level details. In addition, over the past 2 years we work in the area of cancer detection and this involves understanding of the biophysical nature of human tissues.
