Come check out talks from Vega Lab grad students and posters from our undergraduate & high school summer researchers! Rowan University Cooper Medical School of Rowan University

Honored to be selected for a platform presentation 10/26 at the Biomedical Engineering Society conference in Baltimore. This work focuses on bridging the fields of synthetic biology and biomaterials using synthetic, peptide-responsive receptors and peptide biomaterials. #BMES2024 Sebastián L. Vega

I am thankful for the opportunity I had to present my research focused on synthetic peptide responsive transmembrane receptors for cell-biomaterials communications last weekend at #BMES2024 conference in Baltimore.

New paper alert in ACS Synthetic Bio! Here, we designed receptors that sense peptides in 3D gels and showed that cellular activation only occurs in peptide-patterned (red) regions, as seen by their glow from the fusion of two GFP halves. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… Rowan University
