Research from Professor Neha Kamat uncovers how differences in the thickness of biological membranes and the proteins within them can have a big impact on the protein’s ability to insert and move within the membrane.

Very excited to share our latest #lipidtime #synbio project! What started as a fun bioinformatic-based question to explore when I couldn't be in lab during COVID, turned out to be a cool & robust method to load proteins into extracellular vesicles. Check it out!!

Have you ever wondered how to improve loading of protein cargo into extracellular vesicles? Excited to share our latest work exploring how lipid-protein interactions may be leveraged to direct proteins into extracellular vesicles! tinyurl.com/45sdm55m 🧵 1/6

I’m proud to share some recent accomplishments of our undergraduate researcher, @lucasesantanna, who received the @NSF #GRFP and designed a journal cover for his recent paper in @MacroJrnls_ACS with @TheTimVu #MyACSCover Lucas will be pursuing a PhD next: keep an eye on this ⭐️!

Many people treat membrane protein synthesis like a black box. We show that, by using cell free expression, you can actually understand what is going on. Read our paper and find out. ift.tt/7YalbhP
