Overview
Led by Professor Gilbert C. Walker, the Laboratory for Advanced Nanoscience at Surfaces and BioInterfaces (LANSBI) integrates chemistry, optics, mechanics and biology to investigate fundamental and applied nanoscale phenomena at surfaces and biointerfaces. Our work has involved synthetic polymers, perovskites, 2D materials, cells, and in vivo models. We are applying our findings address needs in the aquaculture industry, biomedical diagnostics, and human diseases that involve a disregulated immune response.
