ABSTRACT:
This presentation will focus on recent developments in our lab in three areas of downstream bioprocessing; multimodal chromatography, affinity precipitation and integrated bioprocessing. Fundamental studies into the nature of selectivity in multimodal chromatography will first be presented. This work will include
Assistant Professor Lydia Contreras recently received a National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award for her proposal titled “Mapping Regulatory Networks in Extremophiles,” which could help determine how cells respond to environmental changes and survive high-stress conditions.
The grant will further Contreras’ research to characterize and understand large-scale networks within a cell. Her work looks at … Read the rest »
