CASABIANCA RESEARCH GROUP
Research in the lab is focused on developing NMR methods for studying interactions between nanomaterials and small molecules or biological macromoleucles. Our group uses a variety of NMR techniques including experimental solution and solid-state NMR, calculated chemical shifts, and Dynamic Nuclear Polarization. Our work is multidisciplinary and has applications in the fields of drug delivery, biomedical devices, materials science, and nanomaterials toxicity. You are welcome to browse our site in order to learn more about our team and our work.
