Situated in beautiful British Columbia, Canada, our lab at Simon Fraser University is involved in interdisciplinary research in biophysics and biochemistry.

Peace Arch stands between us and the United States

Welcome

Peace Arch Crossing is the border between us and the United States. We are interested in studying nature's own border patrol - the cell membrane. We study the physical behavior of lipid molecules in model membranes using deuterium nuclear magnetic resonance (2H NMR) spectroscopy. We want to understand the nano-scale molecular interactions that lipids have with each other and their environment.
