Professor Lafleur’s research is aimed at characterizing the organization of biomolecular self-assembly, defining the physical and chemical laws involved, identifying relationships between structure and function of these biological materials and exploiting their properties for various biotechnology applications.

Professor Schmitzer’s research combines organic, bio-organic and supramolecular chemistry, with the goal of gaining insight into how molecular recognition and motion can be combined, for the development of new catalytic systems and new transmembrane transporters.
