Professor Sarah Heilshorn (Materials Science & Engineering)
The Heilshorn lab intends to develop clathrin as a protein-based template for the creation of hierarchically ordered inorganic nanostructures. Combining theoretical and experimental methods to gain insight into kinetic and thermodynamic processes that regulate the self-assembly of clathrin will enable the prediction and formation of ordered 2D and 3D nanostructured materials. They anticipate these to be widely applicable to other self-assembly systems. They will develop rational design of bi-functional peptides to bridge the biologic-inorganic interface, to enable efficient formation and screening of nanostructured materials for a range of applications. |
