Qin, Ximing (2010-12-21)Department: Biological SciencesCircadian rhythms are intrinsic biological rhythms that have a period close to 24 hours. Prokaryotic cyanobacteria are the simplest organisms that show robust circadian rhythms, and are the only organisms that have a ...

Sobota, Rafal Sebastian (2015-04-13)Department: Human GeneticsOne third of the world’s population has been infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). Most of those exposed develop an asymptomatic latent infection. In the absence of co-morbidities, only 5-10% of people progress ...

Jazmin, Lara Jeline (2015-11-30)Department: Chemical EngineeringPhotoautotrophic metabolism represents the primary source of all food on earth as well as raw materials for bio-based production of fuels and chemicals. Therefore, improving photosynthetic efficiency is an important aim ...

Zhou, Xiaoming (2010-03-19)Department: Biological SciencesType-IV P-type ATPases are putative phospholipid flippases that translocate specific phospholipid substrates from the exofacial to the cytosolic leaflet of membranes to generate phospholipid asymmetry. However, flippase ...

Lagus, Todd Peter (2014-01-10)Department: Mechanical EngineeringDroplet-based microfluidics involves the manipulation of small (often picoliter) volumes of fluid that are suspended within an immiscible carrier fluid. Encapsulating single biological cells within aqueous microdroplets ...
