Ph.D, 2002, University of Ottawa. Postdoctoral Fellow, 

2002-2004, University of Texas at Austin. Biophysics/ 

Biophysical Chemistry; Chemical Biology. Our group develops 

and applies novel methods (notably, single molecule 

fluorescence spectroscopy) to investigate the structural 

and dynamic nature of supramolecular interactions 

in biomembranes. We design and synthesize fluorescent 

probes for in vivo imaging of oxidative stress at the lipid 

bilayer; we work on high throughput sensors based on liposome 

encapsulated fluorescent probes; and we are investigating 

the dynamics of protein/nucleic acid/lipid 

membrane intermediates in virion assembly. TEL: (514)
