The paper characterizes the optical properties of tissue chromophores and phantoms in the SWIR range and provides an open-source toolkit for optical modeling.

This paper describes a DNA-based platform that spatially organizes and releases liposomes to mimic cellular communication.

This paper designs and expresses non-natural membrane-less RNA organelles in E. coli, enabling algorithmic control over interactions and condensate structure.

This study creates synthetic DNA condensates that form single or two-phase structures, showing how their properties can be controlled and modeled using a Flory-Huggins framework.

This paper demonstrates the localization of nucleic-acid cleaving enzyme activity within DNA-based membrane-less compartments, enabling spatially organized enzymatic reactions and dynamic pattern formation.
