Effect of humidity and nutrient content on the survival of Staphylococcus aureus on a glass surface
Download2013-03-13
Surfaces contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus can play an important role in its transmission throughout communities and hospitals. Previous research on S. aureus surface survivability has generally used high density inocula (>105 CFU mL-1), which may lead to cryptic growth of the cells, as...

Spring 2015
Fluorescent proteins (FP) and FP-based biosensors have become essential tools for cell biology and neuroscience research. This thesis describes efforts to engineer new FPs with red emission and novel genetically encoded biosensors based on red FPs. Directed evolution and semi-rational design are...

Integration of Nanomechanical Resonators in Microfluidic Systems for Specific Protein Detection
DownloadFall 2009
Nanomechanical resonators offer a pathway towards highly sensitive and label-free detection of biomolecules by transducing the mass of bound analytes into resonant frequency shifts. Zeptogram level and even single cell detections have been successfully achieved by others. However, these...
