Research interests:

AdibLab is a multidisciplinary team of scientists at Dalhousie University that operates at the interface of medical sciences, chemistry and engineering to find solutions for long-lasting and emerging medical and technological problems. Our research depicts a comprehensive image in material development: from intermolecular and nano-scale characterization of soft materials to micro- and macro-scale performance analysis and in vitro and in vivo efficacy testing. Located at the heart of downtown Halifax, our laboratory closely collaborates with hospitals and industrial research centers to translate our materials from laboratory settings to real-life healthcare products.
