Dynamic nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) applications in low and high field to study solvent-solute interactions are of great interest to Dr. Taraban. His current research investigates the water relaxation rate as a probe for noninvasive characterization of biopharmaceuticals. More generally, Dr. Taraban is interested in applications of modern biophysical and structural biology methods (e.g., Dynamic Light Scattering, Microflow Imaging, SAXS and Small-Angle Neutron Scattering) to study the structural characteristics and conformational dynamics in biopolymers, molecular assemblies, and dendrimers.
