Our research endeavour is highly collaborative in nature. At times, we lend our expertise to other researchers by sharing our tools and materials for the purposes of their projects. At other times, joint projects are executed with other investigators to accomplish specific research goals. We actively learn new techniques and approaches from other investigators in order to accomplish our goals and/or explore new phenomena. A list of investigators we are actively collaborating at the present time include (in alphabetical order):
