Our paper on actin-binding protein switches is up on bioRxiv! Unyime Effiong spearheaded this impressive effort, and we are excited to share it! We developed a suite of switches called CASTs that bind to actin in response to an external stimulus biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/4

Honored to be part of this team and to receive this award! It’s been so rewarding to see our community grow since it’s founding in 2022. Excited for the future of LatinX in ChE! LatinX in ChE

I am thrilled to share my work in Nature Communications on the engineering of protein switches that control F-actin binding interactions in cells in a user-defined fashion with Brian Belardi. (indulge the supplementary movies to see these tools in acti(o)n)⚒️ nature.com/articles/s4146…

Our main event of the year has just begun! Please join us during the day for our 2nd Virtual Annual Symposium, where you can learn about the latest scientific advancements from our LatinX community.

Next Tuesday at the US-Japan Drug Delivery meeting in Maui, HI "Paracellular Delivery of Protein Drugs with Smart EnteroPatho Nanoparticles" by Isabela Ramirez Velez Nicholas A. Peppas, Brian Belardi TexasChE

At the US-Japan Drug Delivery meeting with Isabela Ramirez Velez and Fabiola Chapa Villarreal Great talks and posters.
