Brachiation of a polymer chain in the presence of a dynamic network
Published in , 2020
This paper is about the theoretical development of the brachiation model for dynamic polymer networks.
Dynamic light scattering microrheology for soft and living materials
Published in , 2020
This paper describes the set up and troubleshooting techniques for dynamic light scattering microrheology. Along with this paper, I also published a Python package that can be installed directly to contain all the relevant functions for analyzing the DLS instrument’s output. Documentation for this Python package as well as installation instructions can be found here.
Microrheology reveals simultaneous cell-mediated matrix stiffening and fluidization that underlie breast cancer invasion
Published in , 2021
This paper describes using dynamic light scattering microrheology to study forces exerted by breast cancer spheroids on their extracellular matrix.
Engineered Matrices Enable the Culture of Human Patient-Derived Intestinal Organoids
Published in , 2021
This paper describes the development of intestinal organoids in an engineered extracellular matrix material.
Biochemical, biophysical, and immunological characterization of respiratory secretions in severe SARS-CoV-2 infections
Published in , 2022
This paper is about respiratory secretions in severe SARS-CoV-2 infections from a biochemical, biophysical, and immunological standpoint.
Bacteriophage Impact on Bacterial Susceptibility, Resistance, and Tolerance to Antibiotics
Published in , 2022
This review paper describes the role of bacteriophage in antibiotic resistance and tolerance.
Rheological Characterization and Theoretical Modeling Establish Molecular Design Rules for Tailored Dynamically Associating Polymers
Published in , 2022
This paper experimentally validates the brachiation model using a biopolymer-based dynamic polymer system.
Air-liquid intestinal cell culture allows in situ rheological characterization of intestinal mucus
Published in , 2024
