Shear Free Chemotaxis Manuscript (Submitted to LOC)

This data comes from our collaborators in Switzerland who are working on a BBB culture model using NPN. In this study they are looking at the effects of co-culture on barrier function. The co-culture is with pericytes and a vascular brain endothelial cell line that they are cultivating. The permeability is measured with the passage…

We have re-started the PEG x-linking project at RIT. One of the goals is to create microwells made of PEG on top of a membrane in order to culture individual cells or small colonies of cells with the potential for a co-culture with a confluent monolayer on the opposite side. PEG is available as PEG-Diacrylate…

Now that we have a number of ways to quantify the nanostructure of different npMgF2/npAu film stacks, we can begin an optimization experiment for which combination of factors will be useful to us. To explore the space of outcomes, we have a set of Factors at a certain number of Levels. These produce a set…

These experiments were conducted during the week of 5/10/2010 – 5/14/2010. To recap on this project, Barrett and I have been working with Dr. Harold Smith in the hopes of developing a drug screening test that consists of small-scale diffusions. In these experiments, we are working with APOBEC3G (A3G), a protein-RNA complex that is active…

I am trying to build a helpful spreadsheet that outlines all the experiments perfomed with a particular wafer. It also lists the conditions and quality of the wafer. Any other suggestions would be helpful. To view the spreadsheet, click here.
