Noel Lazo is a Professor in the Carlson School of Chemistry and Biochemistry. His laboratory is currently focusing on the proteolytic degradation and aggregation of proteins associated with late onset disorders including Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias and type 2 diabetes. A combination of spectroscopic (e.g., NMR spectroscopy), spectrometric (e.g., mass spectrometry), and biochemical (e.g.,…

Our research examines the structures and dynamics of materials in which organization of complex compositions over small length scales occurs: high surface area layered, exfoliated, or mesoporous metal oxides and inorganic/organic nanocomposites. Elucidation of these complex structures and motions is possible with the use of advanced scattering, both neutron and x-ray, and solid state NMR…
