Join us in 826 Mudd as we discuss three papers relevant to our research. So Yeon, Jane, and Rachel will each be covering a paper(s) of their choice - see below for the articles we’ll be covering!

• So Yeon

  • Hierarchical structural organization in bioinspired peptide coacervate microdroplets (Preprint, Lim et al. 2024)

  • Cellular Uptake of Phase-Separating Peptide Coacervates (Advanced Science, Shebanova et al. 2024)

  • Phase-separating peptides for direct cytosolic delivery and redox-activated release of macromolecular therapeutics (Nature Chemistry, Sun et al. 2022)

  • Hydrogen bond guidance and aromatic stacking drive liquid-liquid phase separation of intrinsically disordered histidine-rich peptides (Nature Communications, Gabryelczyk et al. 2019)

• Jane

  • Biomolecular Condensates Can Enhance Pathological RNA Clustering (Preprint, Mahendran et al. 2024)

• Rachel

  • Directed Assembly of Elastic Fibers via Coacervate Droplet Deposition on Electrospun Templates (Biomacromolecules, Lau et al. 2024)

Join us in 826 Mudd as Jane shares a research update on her project engineering function in synthetic biomolecular condensates in E. coli.

Come join us in Mudd 826 for subgroup research updates from everyone in the lab. After subgroup, we’ll have an official lab tour for interested students, followed by a happy hour later in the afternoon!

The schedule is as follows, but the please note that all times are subject to change pending an event at the Advanced Science Research Center (ASRC @CUNY):

• 1:00-2:30 pm: Subgroup (Mudd 826)

• 2:30-3:00 pm: Lab tour (NWC 801)

• (TBD) 4:00-5:00 pm: Soft Matter supergroup (Mudd 826)

• 5:00-6:00 pm: Happy hour (location also TBD, Ellington’s in the Park if the weather permits)

A Zoom option for subgroup will also be available - reach out to Allie to get the link!
