The latest news and developments from the Green lab at BU.
Semiconducting 2D MoS2 is extremely chemically inert and has required harsh chemistries to covalently modify its surface. In Chemistry of Materials, we demonstrate with the Wang and Santos labs that mild diazonium chemistries can covalently modify MoS2 and be used to tether active proteins to its surface.
Our Viewpoint article on RNA-based in vivo computing systems was published in the journal Biochemistry today. It describes our recent work in the area and potential future directions.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded a five-year, $2.1 million grant to ASU Biodesign Institute professor and School of Molecular Sciences faculty member Alexander Green to pursue innovative approaches to major contemporary challenges in biomedical research. (ASU News story)
In collaboration with the Fan and Yan labs, we have published a review paper in Nature Chemistry covering the recent progress and future possibilities of using nucleic acid nanotechnology in living cells.
In new research, Alex Green, a professor at ASU’s Biodesign Institute, demonstrates how living cells can be induced to carry out computations in the manner of tiny robots or computers. The study appears in the advance online edition of the journal Nature. (ASU News story)
The Green lab has been awarded at 2017 DARPA Young Faculty Award in the Biopolymers on Demand topic area. The grant provides $500,000 in funding over two years to develop RNA-programmed systems for synthesis of complex bioactive molecules.
ASU assistant professor of the School of Molecular Sciences and Biodesign Institute researcher Alex Green earned an Arizona Biomedical Research Commission (ABRC) New Investigator to develop an easy to use test kit for Valley fever, which is a disease caused by fungal spores native to the Southwestern United States.
