Lipid mediators of growth for cellular agriculture

Cellular agriculture aims to generate more sustainable approaches to the production of agricultural products, and this nascent field requires the development of new tools to enhance controlled cell growth. In this project, we will investigate the use of insect cell biomass to produce specific phospholipids that can be used to enhance cellular growth. We will […]

Biosurfactants for Greener Consumer Products

Surfactants (including emulsifiers) are a group of molecules that are critical for the function of many industrial processes and commercial products. Conventional surfactants are produced from non-renewable sources (e.g., petroleum products), can persist in the environment for long periods of time, and can be toxic to various plants and animals. “Biosurfactants” are surfactants that are […]

Development of a highly productive stable cell line to streamline recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) production

Having an efficient and scalable manufacturing production process of Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV) vectors remains one of the most challenging problems in the industry for meeting the high demand of AAV for clinical application in gene therapy. The current production process of AAV relies on the co-transfection of three plasmids containing the main virus structural and […]

Develop a test system for the Superficial Digital Flexor Tendon of the Horse

The overall objective of the work is to understand how loading from the different muscle groups affects the strain that develops in the Superficial Digital Flexor Tendon (SDTF) of the Horse. We will be able to learn how the strength and power of each muscle group must be adapted to achieve different strain distributions in […]
