Expertise

I am interested in the phase behavior of protein solutions.

We are studying how antibodies interact in concentrated solutions to develop strategies to mitigate problems like aggregation and high viscosities in formulations of therapeutic antibodies.

Research Projects:

  • Proteins are the macromolecules responsible for most enzymatic, structural, and signal transduction functions in biology

Areas of specialty:

  • Theoretical Soft Condensed Matter and Biological Physics
    • Protein phase behavior
    • Protein crystallization
    • Amyloid fibril formation
    • Drug formulations
    • Self-assembly

Research: Physics – Studies formulation strategies for protein-based drugs
