Modeling of Microfluidic Systems for High Throughput Cell Culture

 

This portfolio of microfluidic technologies improves cell culture techniques. Current cell culture techniques have several limitations: they are resource and...

Design of a Protein that Spans the Entire Range of Physiological Redox Potentials

 

Dr. Yi Lu from the University of Illinois has designed a single protein to tune its electron-transfer ability across a 2-V range of physiological redox potentials...

Quantum Dots with Thin Coatings that Allow for Efficient Bioconjugation

Dr. Andrew Smith from the University of Illinois has developed new quantum dots with a multidentate polymer coating that minimizes size while maintaining stability and...

NitroxylFluor: A Thiol-Based Fluorescent Probe for Detection of HNO in Living Cells

Dr. Chan has developed a novel fluorescent probe, NitroxylFluor, for the detection of HNO in living cells. This fluorescent probe is highly selective for HNO, is less...

CoxFluor™: An activity-based Fluorescent Probe for Cyclooxygen-ase-2 (COX2)

Dr. Jefferson Chan from the University of IL has developed CoxFluor™, the first “turn on”, isoform specific, fluorescent probe used to detect and image COX-2 activity in...
