Your research in 50 words or less: My research is focused on investigating the effects of a zwitterionic sulfobetaine polymer on protein stability for applications in biosensing and tissue engineering where I collect and analyze dynamic light scattering data of prepared buffer solutions to prove anti-polyelectrolyte behavior of the poly(zwitterion).
