Principal Investigator
Steven Lower
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
A nearly universal trait of bacteria is their ability to attach to solid surfaces. Attached cells often form biofilms that are implicated in a significant amount of human infections and have been…

Investigations into the Protein-Mineral Interface

Lead Institution
The Ohio State University
Principal Investigator
Steven Lower
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
We propose to use a combination of experimental and computational techniques to investigate the protein-mineral interface. Namely, we will use atomic force microscopy to measure nano-scale forces…
