I am excited to participate in the #NOBCCHESCICOM21 competition!

My research focuses on nanoparticle synthesis via microfluidics. Outlined below is the physical technique of Microfluidic Hydrodynamic Focusing (MHF) which is used to prepare homogeneous populations of liposomes.

@Heidi_vdWouw @BlackInChem Liposome formation is dependent on an external energy source (heating or agitation) to fully enclose the bilayer structure into a vesicle. The hot water bath which the device is submerged in is the energy source to ensure vesicle formation.

This is a synopsis of my current work in collaboration with #BioXFEL for the #BlackInChemPosterComp. Come check out how liposomes can be synthesized with microfluidics! @BlackInChem #BlackChemistsWeek2021

Academic writing is wild bc you’ll read four articles just to write one sentence.

Anyway, here’s a thread of resources I’ve been using to speed through this review I’m working on:

@MThompsonLab @BlackInChem Thank you so much!

[Thompson Lab - UC Merced @MThompsonLab]

@aleclpitter gave a great talk about this last week at the @BioXFEL REU seminar, so you should check out his poster!

@NKUPMH @BlackInChem 3. I’m going to keep playing around with the flow conditions to gain control of the liposome sizes produced, from there I’ll start to load them with iron-based paramagnetic contrast agents. Hopefully give rise to some relaxation studies down the line.

[Alec Pitter @aleclpitter]

@NKUPMH @BlackInChem Thank you! 1. Each DLS plot represents a liposomal fraction collected (the PDI ranges from 0.193-0.239). 2. I knew I wanted the experiment running at a flow rate ratio of 5ul/min and 175ul/min provided proper sheathing so we started there.

@DrSarahEJBowman @BioXFEL Thank you so much!

@HoodHealer This article sheds some light on nanotechnology and the mechanics of drug delivery in the vaccine. This should clarify any confusion and hopefully help you gain an appreciation for the work being done. Check it out: https://t.co/LucPJ1elLx
