Hello from the Girard Lab!
The mission of the Girard lab is to use protein chemistry to improve food quality and sustainability, as well as to promote human health. We are an inclusive research program that produces high-caliber science while training scientists to be leaders and innovators to solve food-related problems.
Specific areas of interest include:
- Mechanisms of protein-polyphenol interactions and their effects on protein functionality
- Effects of processing and storage on protein functionality
- Protein structure-function relationships
