James L. Thomas, Associate Professor PhD, Cornell University, 1991 Phospholipids are the amphiphilic molecules that are the structural foundation of essentially all cell membranes. In addition, they have found practical application in synthetic membranes for drug delivery vehicles, and as stabilizing monolayers for ultrasound constrast agents. Our laboratory is engaged in optical and fluorescence studies of phospholipid layers and cell membranes, in order to elucidate the dynamical properties of these important biophysical/biomedical materials and their constituent molecules. |
