McGill Biosorption Group - gathering some summers ago  . . .  (Please click our noses ! ) 
Please note that Professor Volesky's laboratory does not accept any new researchers as he is now pursuing external activities in conjunction with BV-Sorbex, Inc. - promoting the biosorption process, giving workshops and seminars world-wide as well as consulting on ecological issues and water-pollution control.

FISHBEIN,  Leslie (Research Assistant, 2000-1) 
"Biosorption of  Anionic Complexes
"
You will note that sections of this website are, to a good degree, 'historical'.  However, since these researchers posted their web-pages, number of new students around the world have taken advantage of the description of topics appearing in the individual home-pages here - and incorporated the themes in their own new research proposals.
Nothing wrong in doing that, go ahead !
The research themes are so wide and there is so much to do that one does not need to worry about duplications.
In combination with reading of the research literature one can always come up with interesting and useful results - slanted according to your own science background and laboratory capabilities.
Good luck in your endeavours !
