In vitro degradation and characterization of sprayable polymer blends for tissue adhesion
(2021)Fast degrading sprayable polymers could potentially serve as tissue adhesives instead of current invasive surgical closure techniques like suturing, stapling, and clips. In previous work, blending low molecular weight (LMW) ... -
Effect of cargo location on translocation of cell-penetrating peptide fusion proteins into Candida albicans cells
(2021)Resistance to antifungal drugs is an increasing issue in treating disease caused by the fungal pathogen Candida albicans. As a step towards new antifungal approaches, we investigated antifungal delivery of molecules to C. ... -
COMPUTATIONAL ANALYSIS OF METABOLIC NETWORKS AND ISOTOPE TRACER EXPERIMENTS FOR METABOLIC FLUX EVALUATION IN COMPLEX SYSTEMS
(2021)Metabolic engineering endeavors seek to develop microorganisms as feedstocks for biofuels and commodity chemicals. Towards this, quantifying metabolic fluxes is an important step for characterizing an organism’s metabolism ... -
Probing the Ability of Flexible Hydrogels to Protect Fragile Objects
(2021)Hydrogels are networks of polymer chains that are swollen in water. In recent years, several routes have been devised to make hydrogels that are flexible and bendable. This thesis investigates whether such flexible gels ... -
Probing Kinetic Processes of Metallic Nanocrystal Formation with Liquid Phase Transmission Electron Microscopy
(2021)Metallic nanocrystals are pervasive in many applications, but rational control over their synthesis for desired applications is still difficult due to a lack of understanding of their complex formation mechanisms. The ...
