Welcome
The main objective of our research program is to understand the relationship between the structure, dynamics and interactions of differents macromolecules of biological interest. More specifically, our research interests are related to the study of proteins and peptides with antimicrobial character, of amyloid peptides, of silk proteins and of skin substitutes. These systems are investigated in our laboratory by a combination of novel approaches in solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Complementary results are also obtained by solution-state NMR, infared, Raman and fluorescence spectroscopies.
The Research Group in Biophysics and Solid-state NMR is under the supervision of Michèle Auger, professor in the Department of Chemistry, Université Laval.
Our group is also member of the Research Center PROTEO (Regroupement stratégique sur la fonction, la structure et l’ingénierie des protéines) and CQMF (Centre québécois sur les matériaux fonctionnels), as well as of CERMA (Centre de recherche sur les matériaux avancés) at Université Laval.
