Investigation of physical principles of protein phase transitions
Protein phase transitions, including liquid-to-solid aggregation and liquid-liquid phase separation, are fundamental processes underlying neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s (the Aβ peptide and the tau protein), Parkinson’s (the α-synuclein protein), and Huntington’s diseases (the Htt …

Atomic force microscopy methods to study protein phase transitions
Proteins occupy many regions of the phase space, with the ability to form dense liquids and gels, such as viscoelastic condensates, and solids, such as disordered oligomers and ordered amyloid fibrils. This rich phase behaviour of polypeptides is necessary for biological function; however it also …

Microfluidic formation of hierarchical micro and nano emulsions for biomedical applications
The self-assembly of proteins and peptides into complex supramolecular structures provides an important avenue in the development of materials for biomedical applications. In particular, the design and fabrication of protein and peptide-based hydrogels has emerged as an attractive route toward …

Biomolecular function and failure across length scales
Nature has evolved proteins to form the fundamental machinery of life through controlled assembly. Such protein assembly can span five orders of magnitude in length scale, from subnanometer intramolecular arrangements to the formation of micron- sized compartments. However, our understanding of …
