Research is in biochemistry specifically adhesion of mammalian cells, viruses and bacteria to surfaces. Polyvalency, rational drug design, and biophysical studies focused on capillary electrophoresis and surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy. Materials science concerned with the fabrication of nanostructures, microfluidic systems, microelectromechanical systems, and 3-D microstructures.
