Research Description
Dr. Sydlik’s research group uses chemistry to invent new materials, specifically novel polymers and organic materials for use in biomedical and environmental applications. Her invention is a Biobinder for lead chelation. This is a biopolymer that can rapidly remove heavy metals from the body and is a promising therapy for low-level lead poisoning, for which there is currently no treatment.
