(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Technologies that provide information about the concentrations or activities of specific molecules in living subjects have the potential to greatly advance science and medicine. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a tool ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Twenty five percent of all the deaths worldwide are caused by infectious diseases. They are also the biggest cause of mortality among children under five years of age. Among them diarrheal diseases alone cause as many ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Filamentous bacteriophage (M13) are excellent biological build block due to their multiple peptide display system including type 8 (complete peptide display at pVIII) and type 83 (complete peptide display at both pVIII and ...

-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)An understanding of the factors involved in the human adaptation of influenza A viruses is critical for various aspects of influenza preparedness, including the development of appropriate surveillance measures, preventive ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The epithelial cell-extracellular matrix interface primarily comprises of complex glycans and glycoconjugates. The widespread distribution of these glycans on the epithelial cell surface makes them ideal targets for ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are a family of complex carbohydrates whose known biological roles have dramatically increased over the recent years. It is now becoming increasingly evident that sequence specific GAG-protein ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Specific interactions between heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans (HSGAGs) and proteins are central to a wide range of biological processes such as anticoagulation, angiogenesis and growth factor activation. The specificity ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are complex polysaccharides that exist both on the cell surface and free within the extracellular matrix. The intrinsic sequence variety stemming from the large number of building blocks that ...
-
Highly efficient Cas9 mediated transcriptional programming and delivery via Adeno-Associated Virus (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)The RNA-guided bacterial nuclease Cas9 can be reengineered as a programmable transcription factor by a series of modifications to the Cas9 protein and the direct fusion of a synthetic transcriptional activation domain (AD). ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Studying biophysical properties of cells can provide insight into the metabolic mechanisms and regulation of cell cycle processes. Though size is considered to be a fundamental property of cell state, its measurement on a ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)The heterogeneity of individual cellular behavior in response to physical and chemical stimuli has raised increasing attention in many biological processes. There is great incentive in developing techniques for high ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Human adaptation of avian influenza viruses pose an enormous public health challenge as the human population is predominantly naive to avian influenza antigens. As such, constant surveillance is needed to monitor the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Environmental bacteria display tremendous genetic diversity, but we are still learning how this diversity arises and relates to their wide range of habitats. Investigating how bacteria adapt helps us understand their ...
-
Identification of malaria parasite-infected red blood cell aptamers by inertial microfluidics SELEX (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Malaria kills over 500,000 people annually, the majority of whom are children under five years old in sub-Saharan Africa. This disease is caused by several parasite species, of which Plasmodium falciparum is associated ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Reassortment is a reticulate evolutionary process that results in genome shuffling; the most prominent virus known to reassort is the influenza A virus. Methods to identify reassortant influenza viruses do not scale well ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Tamoxifen resistance is the biggest problem in endocrine treatment against hormone receptor positive breast cancer patients. HER2 is a membrane receptor tyrosine kinase that is known to correlate with poor disease outcome ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Mucosal barrier tissues are prominent targets for drugs against infection and chronic inflammatory disorders. One such mucosal barrier tissue, the endometrium, undergoes monthly cyclic remodeling via hormone-mediated growth, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Vaccines have benefited global health by controlling or eradicating life threatening diseases. With better understanding of infectious diseases and immunity, more interest has been placed on stimulating mucosal immune ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Recognition of polymicrobial infections is becoming important for understanding differential host responses to environmental exposures, vaccines, as well as therapeutics. Citrobacter rodentium is a well-characterized model ...
