The paper develops a 27-color spectral flow cytometry protocol to quantify platelet-leukocyte aggregates across multiple leukocyte subsets in human whole blood, revealing their distribution and behavior in health and disease.

This paper develops methods to detect and optimize sampling for multiphasic virus decay, applying them to show that 94% of phage ΦD9 decays 16-fold faster than the remaining population.

This study shows that bacteriophage Φ21 evolves new host receptor usage through destabilizing mutations that create non-genetic phenotypic heterogeneity in viral particles.
