Kritzer Flyer Designing Stapled Peptides that Control Autophagy Abstract: Autophagy is a cellular recycling process important for health and disease, and a major focus for new types of targeted protein degradation. The Kritzer Lab has used structure-based design to develop stapled peptides that bind the critical autophagy proteins LC3B and GABARAP with nanomolar affinities. Small […]

Prof. Raman Flyer Nanophotonic Control of Thermal Emission and Radiative Cooling Applications Abstract: Thermal emission is a ubiquitous light emission process whose control is of central importance to a broad range of energy, heat transfer and imaging applications. In this talk, I will describe my group's recent work on controlling the directional and spectral characteristics […]
Flyer: Dr. Yulia Zaikina Flyer Title: Hard-to-make solids from unconventional synthetic routes Abstract: Materials discovery can be accelerated by the development of synthesis methods and in-situ characterization techniques allowing for the rapid "screening" of multicomponent systems, while theoretical predictions of new compounds’ structure and thermodynamic stability can yield the desired roadmap for the targeted synthesis. […]
Liau Flyer Unraveling Chromatin Complexes with Small Molecules Abstract: The orchestrated interactions of chromatin complexes and transcription factors shape the cell’s epigenome to control gene expression and cell state. Dysregulation of these complexes and their interactions underlie human disease, and new therapeutic approaches to modulate them by blocking or even creating interactions are transforming paradigms […]
