Research Interests
Shamarie's research investigates the multi-scale structure and biophysical properties of respiratory mucus in health and disease. In particular, Shamarie focuses on how mucin self-association and interfacial adsorption regulate mucus viscoelasticity and how surfactants can disrupt these interactions to restore function.
Additional Information
Beyond the Lab: On weekends, Shamarie can be found golfing, watching anime, and rewatching One Piece with her son.
Favorite Polymer: Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM)
