Professor Alison Rodger’s research focuses on developing and applying spectroscopic techniques to understand the structure and function of biomacromolecules and their assemblies. Her particular expertise is with spectroscopic biophysical methods particularly circular dichroism and linear dichroism in the UV, visible and infra-red regions of the spectrum for use with nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates. She integrates the rigour of a quantum electrodynamic approach to spectroscopy with an understanding of the reality of generating data from instrumentation pushed to, or beyond, its limits to answer questions about biomolecular systems.
