Analysis of DNA damage and repair responses in cerium exposed cells and hepatocyte spheroids
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Many environmental exposures, including airborne particulates and industrial chemicals, have long been known to impact public health and safety by contributing to the risk of developing cancer. One key concern is a chemical's ...
Bioinformatic tools for single-cell data analysis in clinical studies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Mechanistic understanding of disease has been dramatically enhanced by an explosion of new high-throughput experimental techniques for profiling biological samples, including RNA-Seq, mass spectrometry, and single-cell ...
Structure, rheology and applications of thermally-gelling nanoemulsions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Colloidal gelation is an effective tool to engineer material properties. Nanoemulsions, liquid-liquid dispersions where the droplet size is on the order of 100 nm, have become an emerging model system for studying aspects ...
Illuminating reaction pathways in low-temperature combustion, pyrolysis & atmospheric oxidation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Reaction mechanisms are key to developing many technologies that could aid in addressing climate change. Evaluating how emissions transform in the atmosphere, obtaining more efficient combustion engines, and finding a way ...
Layer-by-layer coated microneedles for cancer immunotherapy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)
Over the past few decades, research in therapeutic cancer vaccines has achieved remarkable advances in both pre-clinical and clinical studies. However, strategies to boost antigen presentation and T cell priming in order ...
Engineering gas diffusion electrodes for electrochemical carbon dioxide upgrading
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)
Electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction (CO2R) is increasingly recognized as a viable technology for the generation of chemicals using carbon dioxide (CO₂) recovered from industrial exhaust streams or directly captured ...
Engineering myelination in vitro
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
The brain is the powerhouse of the central nervous system (CNS). When this system is out of balance, the implications are massive: neurological diseases are the leading cause of disability and number two leading cause of ...
Protein immobilization using complex coacervates and complex coacervate thin films
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)
Enzymes can enable a wide and growing range of chemistries, often outperforming synthetic catalysts. However, enzymes must often be converted to heterogeneous catalysts. Protein immobilization enables this conversion and ...
Interfacing living plants with nanomaterials for in planta sensing and plant biotechnology applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Plants represent an important biological system which can self-repair, grow autonomously and generate energy from sunlight and photosynthesis. As sessile organisms, they have evolved complex internal and inter-organism ...
Flue gas CO₂ capture using electrochemically mediated amine regeneration
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
To sustain global energy demand while preventing a 2 °C global temperature increase, it is imperative that mitigation technologies such as carbon capture are deployed to reduce carbon footprint of the continued use of ...
