ParthasarathyLab
Biophysics & Soft Condensed Matter
How do mechanics and thermodynamics guide the behavior of biological materials, especially membranes and membrane proteins?
How do soft materials and complex fluids self-organize?
Can we use bio-molecules to create new sorts of complex materials for non-biological purposes?
We design and conduct experiments to explore these issues. By "experiments" we mean a wide range of studies using many different tools and techniques, with special emphasis on optical microscopy -- see the Research page for more information (and a few pictures). "We" means Prof. Raghuveer Parthasarathy graduate students, undergraduate students, and postdocs. The lab is located in 171 Willamette Hall, at the University of Oregon.
