We use biomimetic self-assembly, molecular design, and microfluidics to address real-world challenges. Part of the Dept. of Chemical Engineering @UMassAmherst.
Check out our exciting new paper in @pubs.acs.org ACS Macro Letters on "Complex Coacervate Emulsions as a Strategy to Stabilize Enzymes for Catalysis in Organic Solvents!" pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
Complex Coacervate Emulsions as a Strategy to Stabilize Enzymes for Catalysis in Organic Solvents
Complex coacervates have emerged as versatile platforms for protein encapsulation, enabling enzymatic catalysis in aqueous environments. Despite their potential, applications of coacervates are limite...

Check out the awesome new paper from our group, just published in Biomacromolecules (doi.org/10.1021/acs....)! We looked at sequence effects in peptide complex coacervates. In addition to phase behavior studies, we also identified some really cool rheological phenomena!

Congratulations @jcconrad.bsky.social!!!
My PhD mentor (and lifelong friend) @jcconrad.bsky.social has been elected 2024 Fellow of AAAS! 🥳🥳

This election recognizes her profound contribution to Physics and Science but what may be missed is her tireless and heartfelt mentorship. I would not be the scientist I am without her. Congrats Jaci!
