Biomembrane Models and Interactions Therein
Marité Cárdenas is a Professor in Biomedical Science at Malmö University, currently in a Sabbatical year at the School of Biological Sciences, Nanyang Technological University (Singapore). She is an expert on various physical-chemical aspects of self-assembly in biological systems. Cárdenas's expertise centers on lipid-protein/DNA interactions and the characterization of their structures in solution and at interfaces. Examples include the structure of Biomembranes including membrane proteins, mechanism of action of antimicrobial peptides, structural effects on nanoparticles upon interaction with serum proteins, lipoprotein structure, and their capacity to exchange fats.
Carbohydrate-presenting rSAM Surface as a Sensitive Platform for QCM-D Detection of Multivalent Lectins
Dr. Adam Tillo is joining us from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden. Dr. Tillo's doctoral research concerned synthesis of macrocyclic complexes for biomedical applications including photodynamic cancer therapy (PDT) and fluorescence microscopy. He has pursued his further research at Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM, Berlin) and KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Stockholm), focusing on development of optical and electrochemical sensors. During his postdoctoral studies at Malmö University, he explored the QCM-D technique for investigation of interactions between bacterial proteins and chemically modified surfaces.
QCM-D Characterization of Antimicrobial Lipid Interactions with Supported Lipid Bilayers: Towards Antiviral Applications in the Biomedical and Agricultural Sectors
Joshua A. Jackman is an Assistant Professor in the School of Chemical Engineering and Biomedical Institute for Convergence at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) in South Korea. He leads the Translational Nanobioscience lab, which is focused on characterizing the interactions of biomacromolecules and nanomaterials with biological systems, and translating scientific insights into engineered solutions to address outstanding needs in medicine, biotechnology, and agriculture.
The Application of Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation Monitoring to Understand the Early Stages of Platelets Activation
Ms. Derszniak is a Ph.D. candidate in Medical and Health Sciences. She does blood platelets research at the Jagiellonian Centre for Experimental Therapeutics laboratories under the Interdisciplinarity for Innovation Medicine study program at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow.
A QCM-D Study of the Adsorption of Nanospheres and Proteins onto Surfaces and its Implications for Drug Release
Sanjeeva Murthy is an Associate Research Professor at the Laboratory for Biomaterials Research, Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Rutgers University. He is a Material Scientist with expertise in polymers, biomaterials, and biological structures. He is currently using QCM-D and X-ray scattering to study the conformation and shape changes, and their biological consequences when proteins and nanoparticles are adsorbed onto various substrates.
Leveraging the QCM-D Technique for Efficient Food Ingredients Encapsulation to Improve Bioavailability
Dr. Younas Dadmohammadi was trained as a chemical engineer through a B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. Younas has more than 12 years of research and teaching experience in US institutes such as Cornell, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma. Right now, Younas is an NSF Entrepreneurial Lead and Research Associate in the Department of Food Science, Cornell University, New York. His field of interest forges much-needed connections between engineering, food, and life science.
Application of High-pressure High-temperature QCM-D to Study Fouling in Milk Processing
Ms. Holly Huellermeier is a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Food, Agricultural, and Biological Engineering at the Ohio State University. Under the supervision of Dr. Dennis Heldman, Ms. Huellermeier studies the mechanisms of fouling and cleaning during thermal milk processing. She plans to graduate with her Ph.D. in May of 2022.
