Lipid membranes are universal features of living systems, constituting inner and outer barriers of a biological construct and maintaining non-equilibrium states necessary for life. Evolution has produced a fascinating array of lipid structures that dictate the function of biological membranes, and organisms devote considerable energy to the synthesis and maintenance of such compositions. Our group has been studying some of the […]

“Ultrathin Wavy Nanowires as Highly Efficient Anode Electrocatalysts for Fuel Cell Application” Abstract: Direct alcohol fuel cells (DAFCs) are of tremendous interests for their higher volumetric energy density, safer storage, transport, and lower cost vs. hydrogen. However, the anode alcohol oxidation reactions are less kinetically favorable and require noble metal based electrocatalysts, which are costly […]
“Biophysical Characterization of Cancer-Derived Cells and Extracellular Vesicles” ABSTRACT: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a class of lipid bilayer enclosed particles secreted by most mammalian cells, and are found ubiquitously in body fluids such as plasma and cerebrospinal fluid. EVs contain molecular signatures of their secreting host cells, and are involved in long-range intercellular communication and […]
