Hi all – I finished my 10 months internship with Sartorius on 16th of July and since all my results are going to be the third and last aim of my Ph. D., I will be presenting my results in our NRG meeting. Since these results are confidential, I am not allowed to publish them…

I’ve processed all the images used in the water permeability studies and found the following statistics from these images: Mean Diameter Mean Area Median Diameter Median Area Porosity Area Weighted Diameter 90th percentile Diameter I calculated the theoretical water permeability for each sample we’ve used and compared that to the experimental permeability using these statistics…

A couple weeks ago, I showed some preliminary data on H2O2 detection via the Amplex Red Assay, which is a project for one of our high school students.  This generated some discussion at the last NRG meeting about diffusion through “nonporous” membranes.  Jess wanted to look at very small molecule diffusion in her set-up so…

Here are images of actin filaments on Formvar coated 200 mesh nickel grid. Actin filaments were polymerized exactly as before. TEM sample preparation procedure is: 1. add actin solution on Formvar grid and wait 90 sec 2. remove liquid, add same volume of 2% UA and wait 90 sec 3. remove liquid and load on…

I tried putting Ag/AgCl electrodes on the surfaces of the membrane for EO pumping. The experiments were done in RIT with Jirachai. In these experiments the goal was to observe the change in liquid droplet volume on the front side of the membrane, due to EO pumping from liquid reservoir on the other side of…

Introduction & Motivation A subset of cancer cells has mutations that generate proteins recognized by the immune system as foreign, triggering the immune-mediated clearance of those cells. To avoid this fate, cancer cells can evolve mechanisms to suppress this antitumor response via the regulation of immune checkpoint pathways. Immune checkpoints describe mechanisms that are in…
