Many people treat membrane protein synthesis like a black box. We show that, by using cell free expression, you can actually understand what is going on. Read our paper and find out. ift.tt/7YalbhP Justin Peruzzi Kamat Lab Michael C. Jewett Antje Kruger Northwestern CSB

I’m proud to share some recent accomplishments of our undergraduate researcher, Lucas Sant'Anna, who received the U.S. National Science Foundation #GRFP and designed a journal cover for his recent paper in ACS Macro Journals with Timothy Vu #MyACSCover Lucas will be pursuing a PhD next: keep an eye on this ⭐️!

Our paper, led by the talented Justin Peruzzi, recapitulating a two-component system (TCS) outside the cell is out in PNASNews! Thanks to @jeffrey_j_tabor for an inspiring talk on TCSs that led to this study and helpful conversations. More press is here: tinyurl.com/yav5fv9b

Research from Professor Neha Kamat uncovers how differences in the thickness of biological membranes and the proteins within them can have a big impact on the protein’s ability to insert and move within the membrane. Kamat Lab Justin Peruzzi Northwestern CSB bit.ly/3UOSHfX

One, two, Threehee EV surface proteins! If you’ve ever wanted to precisely count the number of proteins on the surface of individual extracellular vesicles, our new paper in ISEV-Journals describes a method and some observations that can help isevjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Excited to share our work Nature Communications on biomembranes, lipid rafts, drug delivery, and extracellular vesicles (EVs). We used lipid-protein interactions to control protein trafficking and improve functional delivery of transcription factors > 50X! tinyurl.com/ycprfywe (1/8)

Happy to share our latest paper! So fun co-leading with Justin Peruzzi and so rewarding to work with a group of great people and scientists. Congrats all! Check it out if you’re into extracellular vesicles, biomembranes, or biologic drug delivery! #synbio
