Holland Lab attended the first Gordon Research Conference on Silk at Bryant University last week. The Lab had one talk and two posters on our biophysical approach to understand spider silk formation. Fantastic conference! Got to catch up with old and new colleagues in silk.

The lab's recent publication on lipid bilayer assembly on nanoparticles x.com/intent/tweet?t… our latest Soft Matter article, selected as HOT, and FREE to access now! Find it here: xlink.rsc.org/?doi=10.1039/D…

The Lab has been attending the American Chemical Society meeting in SF. Greg gave a talk in the NMR and MRI of Materials Symposium titled “Combining Solution NMR and Modeling to Determine Structural Ensembles of Spider Silk Proteins”. Fantastic session and great to catchup with NMR folks.

More members of the Holland Lab lab are at #ENC2024 this week. Today Yuan Li, ENC student travel award winner, will present her poster "The Calcium Sites of Hydroxyapatite with Different Morphologies and Crystal Phases Investigated by 43Ca MAS Solid-state NMR" #SDSU #chem #nmr

Dr. David Onofrei, a graduate of Holland Lab and NMR Facility Director at SDSU, will be speaking at ENC - Experimental Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Conf today on "Using CS-ROSETTA to Probe Assembly of Intrinsically Disordered Spider Silk Proteins in Solution". Don't miss out on this insightful session! #ENC2024 #SDSU

This afternoon's poster session ENC - Experimental Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Conf will feature a pair of posters from the Holland Lab. On will be by Dr. Kevin Chalek, he will present a poster on his analysis of sidechain interactions in dragline spider silk, a continuation of his Sunday talk. #ENC2024 #SDSU #chem

The second poster to see today ENC - Experimental Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Conf from Holland Lab is from grad student Hannah Johnson. She will present on "Solution NMR of Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation in Native Major Ampullate Spider Silk Proteins Indicates Arg and Tyr Influence Pre-Assembly" #ENC2024 #SDSU #chem

For anyone interested in our latest research results on spider silk formation, a link to a recent talk is provided below. The talk was given as part of the Computational Science Research Center (CSRC) Colloquium series at SDSU. m.youtube.com/channel/UCN0ZE…

Along with the TA awards we wish to recognize the outstanding contributions of our students to the department's research goals. The winner of the undergraduate student research award was Julian Aldana!

SDSU Graduation was this past weekend. Proud of the two most recent PhD students from the Holland Lab, Yuan Li and Hannah Johnson!!! Yuan's thesis is on: "Bio-Nano Interface Atomic Structure". Hannah's thesis is on: "Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation in Spider Silk Formation"

The lab has a new paper out in Advanced Functional Materials titled: “Unraveling the Molecular Origin of Prey-wrap Spider Silk’s Unique Mechanical Properties and Assembly Process with NMR” Check it out: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

We are very excited to share that our department is searching for a new organic chemistry professor! Candidates with a research emphasis on catalysis, new reaction development, and/or synthetic methodology preferred. More details at buff.ly/4dzJiRD

For those interested in Bio-Nano interfaces, the lab has a new paper out in Langmuir on the influence of nanoscale morphology on biomolecular surface binding. Post-doc Yuan Li used SSNMR together with MD from Chris Lorenz. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Cover art for the labs recently published Langmuir article where we used SSNMR and MD with Lorenz Lab to Investigate Aspartic Acid binding on Morphologically Distinct Nanoscale Hydroxyapatite Surfaces. Check it out:
