Probing Lipid Monolayers with Pendant Drops From Surface Pressure Isotherms to Interfacial Rheology

This webinar explores advanced experimental techniques to investigate the properties of lipid monolayers - key components of biological membranes. Dr. Andrew White presents findings from his research at the University of California, Riverside, demonstrating how pendant drop methods can be used to analyze surface pressure isotherms and interfacial rheology, with a focus on the effects of cholesterol and different lipid head groups on monolayer behavior and membrane mechanics.

Presentation by Dr. Andrew White

Dr. Andrew White has over 10 years of experience with pendant and sessile drop methods gathered during a Ph.D. in engineering mechanics at Iowa State University, postdocs at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, and the University of California, Riverside, and as an application scientist at Nanoscience Instruments. He is currently a scientist at BASF Agricultural Solutions but the work he is talking about today has been done at the University of California, Riverside.
