Welcome to the Feng Gai Lab...

...at the Department of Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania. We are a group of physical chemists, biochemists and biologists that study a broad range of biophysical topics, with a special interest in protein folding dynamics. Using and developing an assortment of laser spectroscopic techniques, we aim to provide detailed mechanistic insight into how proteins adopt their native conformations and interact, from the fastest folding secondary structures to membrane binding and insertion and aggregate formation.
