My lab investigates the Molecular Biomechanics of structural biopolymers in animals. Our goal is to understand of the relationships between their molecular structure, their physical chemistry, their mechanical properties and their function in living organisms. However, in studying biopolymer systems we are keenly aware that the basic science we gather can be used in the development of new structural proteins through genetic engineering and also can provide direction for the development on novel technologies by mimicking designs found in Nature. In the current proposal we will investigate the following biopolymer systems.

我的实验室研究动物结构生物聚合物的分子生物力学。我们的目标是了解它们的分子结构，物理化学，机械性能及其在生物体中的功能之间的关系。然而，在研究生物聚合物系统时，我们敏锐地意识到，我们收集的基础科学可以通过基因工程用于开发新的结构蛋白，也可以通过模仿自然界中发现的设计为新技术的开发提供方向。 在本提案中，我们将研究以下生物聚合物系统。
