Last night the Physics Student Association<\/a> welcomed biophysicist, Dr. David Sivak<\/a> from Simon Fraser University<\/a>. His talk focused on molecular machines using mitochondrial ATP synthase as a model and manipulating them to study their function. He also shared the interesting research that is being done in his lab [The Sivak Group<\/a>]<\/a> … such as attaching nanomagnets to make the F1 subunit or catalytic site to rotate\u00a0at will. The audience was very engaged and had many questions for him.<\/p>\n

Dr. Sivak was pleased by the number of UFV BSc graduates who are now pursuing grad studies at SFU. In fact, he included a special slide highlighting a few of our former students!<\/p>\n
