Nancy Forde Email nforde@sfu.ca Website www.sfu.ca/fordelab Office Phone 778-782-3161 Research Description By grabbing a molecule by its ends and stretching it, we measure its mechanical response. One goal is to design molecules with desired mechanical properties. We are also developing models to describe the mechanical response of single molecules. Using single-molecule manipulation techniques we study biological molecules, such as proteins, and molecular motors found in the cell.
