Biointerface Lab at McGill University
@biointerfacelab.bsky.social
We are interested in phenomena occurring at the interface between biological and non-biological materials 🧫 🦷🔬🧪🦴
The Biointerface Lab is hiring!
We have an opening for a Master's student position on a project related to the characterization of "The Feather Book"!
