Catalysts are substances that accelerate chemical reactions without being consumed in the process. They are critical to a wide range of industrial processes, including oil refining, polymer production, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. However, not all catalyst particles within a given batch have the same level of...
Encapsulation of cells inside microfluidic droplets is an important step in several cellular analysis applications. However, the lack of full control of experimental variables and conditions in droplet microfluidics can make it difficult to achieve Poisson distribution, which is the theoretical expectation for encapsulation statistics....
Protein crystallization is a crucial step in determining the structure of proteins, which is essential for understanding their function and developing new drugs. However, the process of crystallization is notoriously difficult and can take a long time to achieve success. In recent years, researchers have...
Abstract "Living materials bring together material science and biology to allow the engineering and augmenting of living systems with novel functionalities. Bioprinting promises accurate control over the formation of such complex materials through programmable deposition of cells in soft materials, but current approaches had limited success...
Abstract "The assembly of biomolecules into condensates is a fundamental process underlying the organisation of the intracellular space and the regulation of many cellular functions. Mapping and characterising phase behaviour of biomolecules is essential to understand the mechanisms of condensate assembly, and to develop therapeutic strategies...
