Abstract: Our research is focused on understanding and creating molecular devices and machines that can perform specific tasks as directed by users. We draw inspiration from natural macromolecular assemblies such as viruses and molecular motors and seek to implement similar principles in synthetic molecular machinery. We use both DNA origami and de-novo protein design in […]

Last day to report midsemester grades
Fall break begins (7:00 PM)
We invite Pratt faculty & staff to join us for a Character Forward Workshop where we will learn about character education, reflect on the history of engineering ethics education, identify character traits we want to cultivate, and consider strategies for cultivating those traits inside and outside the engineering classroom.
Classes resume (8:30 AM)
Shopping carts open for Spring 2025
Designer Nucleic Acid Architectures for Programmable Molecular Systems. My lab uses nature's design rules as inspiration to advance biomedical, energy-related, and other technological innovations through the use of self-assembling molecules and materials. We aim to create intelligent materials with better component controls at the atomic and molecular levels. Speciically, we are interested in designing bio-inspired […]
ARDS, pneumonia, and sepsis are common critical illnesses with high mortality. The conditions are overlapping, and diagnosis, prognosis and prediction are all challenging. Decades of research has been done to try and unravel the heterogeneity and find treatments to improve outcomes for these patients, yet to little effect. Progress is hampered in part by the […]
