CBE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Controlled Deposition of Cargo-Carrying Colloids from Dispersed Liquid to Solid Surfaces” (Paradorn Rummaneethorn)

Towne 337

Abstract: Great advances have been made in encapsulation of (biological) analytes at extremely high throughput via techniques such as microfluidics and/or conjugation. In parallel, analytical techniques such as mass spectrometry have advanced to analyze biochemical components of complex mixtures with high resolutions. Both capabilities are essential for enabling biology at subcellular scales; rather than engineering […]
