- Predicting how proteins fold and adsorb onto surfaces is a complex problem of key relevance to the health and environmental sectors. We have developed a unique and robust protocol for investigating the interactions of two blood proteins with relevant model surfaces. The originality of this work stems from the use of two different nano-patterning techniques and advanced AFM analysis which allowed us to model the protein/surface interaction. This work yielded an invited talk at an RSC conference (RSC biomaterials 2017) and the expertise developed within has generated new multi-disciplinary collaborations with microbiologists and environmental scientists.
