Real-time electrochemical protein monitoring using molecular pendulum sensors

This paper introduces molecular pendulum electrochemical sensors with active-reset mechanisms for real-time, ultrasensitive protein detection in biofluids.

Developing, characterizing and modelingCRISPR-based point-of-use pathogen diagnostics

The paper develops and optimizes a one-pot NASBA-Cas13a assay for rapid, sensitive detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA without specialized equipment.

Development of cell-free platforms for discovering, characterizing, and engineering post-translational modifications

This paper develops a cell-free platform combining CFPS and AlphaLISA to rapidly study and engineer PTM installing proteins for therapeutic applications.

Increasing cell-free gene expression yields from linear templates in Escherichia coli and Vibrio natriegens extracts by using DNA-binding proteins

This paper introduces a method to increase gene expression from linear DNA templates in cell-free systems by using DNA-binding proteins, achieving significant yield improvements in both E. coli and Vibrio natriegens.
