Alex Smirnov
Governor Robert W. Scott Distinguished Professor of Chemistry
Cox Hall 614F
Education
Ph.D. Moscow Physical Technical Institute & Institute of Chemical Physics of the Soviet Academy of Science 1990
Area(s) of Expertise
We merge development of magnetic resonance and analytical methods, building specialized spectroscopic instrumentation, fabricating nanostructures, and synthesizing molecular probes to understand structure, dynamics, and function of membrane proteins in lipid bilayers and to use this information for building hybrid nanostructures for biomedical uses.
