He earned his Ph.D in Microbiology and Immunology from the University of Western Ontario (London, Ontario) on understanding the role of the capsular polysaccharide in the pathogenisis of Campylobacter jejuni. Dr. Lange completed his post-doctoral fellowship at The Stone Centre at VGH with Dr. Ben Chew, where he contributed significantly to the area of urinary biomaterial design, providing a basic science perspective to understanding ureteral stent related problems. His research interests and expertise are in the area of urinary biomaterial development to prevent indwelling-device associated infections and encrustation. Together with polymer chemists at UBC, Dr. Lange has developed novel antifouling coatings that are highly effective at preventing bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation on a variety of materials, making its utility highly relevant beyond medicine.
