Research
Research in the Griebenow group has now shifted from biomedical to environmental research. At the core of our interests are investigations related to developing a more sustainable future, developing alternatives to non-biocompatible products (e.g., bio-plastics), measuring the level and impact of contamination (e.g., heavy metals), amongst others.
