Noncovalent Protein and Peptide Functionalization of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes for Biodelivery and Optical Sensing Applications

Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Justyna Kupis-Rozmyslowicz, Alessandra Antonucci

The exquisite structural and optical characteristics of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), combined with the tunable specificities of proteins and peptides, can be exploited to strongly benefit technologies with applications in fields ranging from bi ...

A synthetic biology approach to engineering living photovoltaics

Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Nils Schürgers

The ability to electronically interface living cells with electron accepting scaffolds is crucial for the development of next-generation biophotovoltaic technologies. Although recent studies have focused on engineering synthetic interfaces that can maximiz ...

AAV based gene therapy for rare diseases : targeting astrocytes for functional recovery in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Cylia Cloé Rochat

Of the seven thousand diseases that are described as rare, 80% of them have an identified genetic cause. With this in the mind, the development of technologies, such as gene therapy, to address the genetic factors involved in these pathologies, might be a ...

Rv3852 (H-NS) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Is Not Involved in Nucleoid Compaction and Virulence Regulation

Gaëlle Séraphine Kolly, Stewart Cole, Claudia Sala, Anthony Vocat, Andrej Benjak, Nina Theres Odermatt, Andréanne Lupien

A handful of nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs) regulate the vast majority of genes in a bacterial cell. H-NS, the histone-like nucleoid-structuring protein, is one of these NAPs and protects Escherichia coli from foreign gene expression. Though lacking a ...

Evolution of an intricate J-protein network driving protein disaggregation in eukaryotes

Paolo De Los Rios, Duccio Malinverni, Alessandro Barducci

Hsp70 participates in a broad spectrum of protein folding processes extending from nascent chain folding to protein disaggregation. This versatility in function is achieved through a diverse family of J-protein cochaperones that select substrates for Hsp70 ...

MAR-Mediated transgene integration into permissive chromatin and increased expression by recombination pathway engineering

Christian Iseli, Nicolas Mermod, Thomas Junier, Samuel Neuenschwander, Ioannis Xenarios

Untargeted plasmid integration into mammalian cell genomes remains a poorly understood and inefficient process. The formation of plasmid concatemers and their genomic integration has been ascribed either to non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) or homologous r ...

Computational methods and modeling of cellular function for the optimization of protein production and the study of cellular disease states

Joana Raquel Pinto Vieira

Systems biology is a multidisciplinary field that weaves together all the basic sciences through the use of computational and bioinformatics tools, to provide a more integrative view of the complex molecular interactions taking place within and among cells ...

Recombinant protein production from stable mammalian cell lines and pools

David Hacker, Sowmya Balasubramanian

We highlight recent developments for the production of recombinant proteins from suspension-adapted mammalian cell lines. We discuss the generation of stable cell lines using transposons and lentivirus vectors (non-targeted transgene integration) and site- ...

Integrating Gene Synthesis and MITOMI for Rapid Protein Engineering

Matthew Christopher Blackburn

The research described within this thesis is primarily motivated by two fields of science with reversed, yet complementary, approaches to addressing the same essential objective: manipulating and understanding the complex program of life. Whereas synthetic ...

Integrating gene synthesis and microfluidic protein analysis for rapid protein engineering

Sebastian Maerkl, Matthew Christopher Blackburn, Ekaterina Emilova Petrova, Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia

The capability to rapidly design proteins with novel functions will have a significant impact on medicine, biotechnology and synthetic biology. Synthetic genes are becoming a commodity, but integrated approaches have yet to be developed that take full adva ...

A High-Throughput Microfluidic Platform for Mammalian Cell Transfection and Culturing

Sebastian Maerkl, Kristina Pan Woodruff

Mammalian synthetic biology could be augmented through the development of high-throughput microfluidic systems that integrate cellular transfection, culturing, and imaging. We created a microfluidic chip that cultures cells and implements 280 independent t ...
