PhD candidate in the @fordycelab and @Dunn_Lab studying ChemE at Stanford. Past member of the Hackel lab @UMNews. (he/him)

First preprint of the @fordycelab and @Dunn_Lab collaboration! We used high-throughput microfluidics for sequence-strength mapping at the single-molecule level. Our new tech allowed us to discover a fundamental nonequilibrium property of multivalent systems. 1/13

Excited to share our Science Advances paper introducing Tether Force Spectroscopy: flow-stretched DNA "sails" that pull on molecules and read out single-molecule behaviour by fluorescence. No beads. Huge thanks to Adam, Ryan and the team. science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

Characterizing AI-designed proteins requires quantitative biochemistry at massive scale. Enter Amplicon/Protein Bead Display (APB-Display), a fully in vitro platform that quantifies Kd's for >100,000 variants in <3 days (preprint link below!) @Stanford_ChEMH @czbiohub (1/n)

Many experiments in biology happen one protein at a time, which means synthesizing DNA one gene at a time. This is fine for tens of genes. For thousands, the cost is unsustainable. Introducing uSort-M: a method to isolate and sequence-verify thousands of genes at low cost

I am excited to share our latest work on creating the first tunable Catch-Bond with #DNA! Our Fish-Hook architecture allowed precise control of adhesion nanomechanics, creating new possibilities for bioengineering and material science! 🧬🐟🪝🌟nature.com/articles/s41467-0… #biophysics
