Seminar Abstract:
Protein aggregation is a ubiquitous concern during biopharmaceutical product formulation and process development. The process of nonnative aggregation has also attracted long-standing interest in fundamental disease studies due to its potential role in a growing number of chronic ailments such as Huntington’s Disease, Alzheimer’s Disease, and prion diseases. In both cases, there is … Read the rest »
Have you imagined integrating your body tissues and electronics to control household appliances with simply a blink of the eyes? Or to continuously collect data and monitor the health of your body using simply a smart phone? These novel concepts may have existed so far only in sci-fi movies or fictions, but to … Read the rest »

Seminar Abstract:
Nanoparticles, particularly carbon nanotubes and metal nanowires, provide new routes for engineering the electrical properties of polymers. This lecture will focus on two aspects of this expanding field, namely electrical conductivity and resistive switching. With regard to electrical conductivity, Winey’s group has demonstrated the importance of nanotube orientation both via simulation and by … Read the rest »
