Massively Parallel Method to Quantify Protein Folding & Stability
Protein misfolding plays a role in degenerative diseases, cancer evolution, synthetic biology, bioproducts, and more. Despite its importance in all of these fields, researchers often struggle to understand even the basic mechanisms of protein misfolding. For example, there is no tool to determine how much misfolding is happening inside of any given...

Rapid Culture-Free Large-Volume Scattering Imaging for UTI Pathogen Detection and Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing
Antibiotic resistance is a significant public health threat, in part due to the misuse and overuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Most antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) techniques are slow and culture-based, taking days to produce results, which delays treatment and can put patients at risk. Dipstick-type tests and manual microscopy are faster,...
