As Principal Investigator or co-Investigator, Prof. Gough has received grants from
NSERC, CIHR and MHRC, as well as external contracts, to develop infrared and Raman
spectroscopic applications for the study of many targets including brain tissue in
Alzheimer's disease and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, comparisons of saprotrophic and
endophytic fungi, the role of nutritional fatty acids in retinal health, development of
scar tissue in wound healing, spectroscopic imaging of plant roots in phytoremediation and
analysis of weathering in minerals. She has been PI or co-PI on equipment grants for IR and
Raman microscopes at the University of Manitoba. Prof. Gough currently holds an NSERC
grant to develop protocols for analysis of IR and Raman vibrational spectra and the
practical investigation of many targets. Our group has been an active user of synchrotron
FTIR since the late 1990's, and has conducted experiments at SRC, NSLS, ALS, CLS and ESRF.
While continuing to use the conventional IR microscope on the 031 beam line at SRC, she
is presently working with Prof. Carol Hirschmugl to collect images with the recently
commissioned IRENI system.
