Sep '18 Welcome new lab members! Han (grad CBE), Dean (grad BME), and Justin (undergrad CBE).

Sep '18 Nicole's review on electrical conductivity in protein and peptide materials is accepted to J. Phys. Chem B. AND it was selected as an ACS Editor's Choice paper!

Jun '18 Check out the EXCELLENT line-up at this year's Bioinspired Materials Gordon Research Conference. Allon has the pleasure of chairing a session on Bionspired Assemblies and Supramolecular Materials with Takuzo Aida (UTokyo), Xi Zhang (TsinghuaU), and Akif Tezcan (UCSD).

May '18 Nicole successfully defends her thesis!

May '18 Ryan's modeling work on peptoid nanosheet self-assembly with Steve Whitelam and Ron Zuckermann at the Molecular Foundry, LBNL, is published in PNAS.

Apr '18 Nicole's work on chemically-encoded self-assembly of transient conductive bio-organic hybrid materials, in collaboration with the Ulijn lab at CUNY ASRC, is published in Nature Chem.

Mar '18 Self-assembled SERS + machine learning + biofilms = online early detection of bacterial infection. Arunima & Saba's collaborative work with the Ragan, Baldi, and Whiteson labs is published in ACS Appl Mater Interfaces.

Mar '18 Allon will be presenting at ACS in New Orleans on the lab's discoveries in growth surface topography effects on biofilm physiology, electrical conductivity in peptide nanofibers, and the synthesis of metal-germanide nanocrystals. Come check them out!

Mar '18 Nicole & Ryan's research on conductivity in biomimetic, α-helical peptide fibers is published in ACS Nano. Thanks to the Nguyen group for molecular dynamics insights!
