About our Research

Our research is founded in molecular biology, but the focus on bioadhesion necessitates an interdisciplinary approach. 

To understand the biology of adhesive production and the adaptation of adhesives to different environments, the behaviours required to form adhesive bonds, the biochemistry and biophysics of the interface as well as the mechanics of the adhesive joint, a variety of approaches are required. 

The methods we employ, from PCR to mechanical analysis, and those who collaborate with us are detailed in the sections to the left.
