معرفی
Laurent Kreplak is an Associate Professor at the Department of Physics and Atmospheric Science and School of Biomedical Engineering at Dalhousie University. His research focuses on understanding the mechanical properties of protein assemblies, particularly collagen fibrils, using multidisciplinary approaches combining physics, biochemistry, and engineering.
- Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)
- Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) Microscopy
- Collagen Structure-Function Relationships
- Protein Self-Assembly
His group develops advanced imaging techniques to study collagen damage mechanisms and designs synthetic peptides with predictable mechanical properties. Recent publications highlight polarization-resolved SHG microscopy applications, collagen hydration dynamics, and tendon biomimetic fiber bundles. While no formal awards are listed, his work is supported by ongoing research grants and collaborations in biomedical engineering and structural biology.
