Our work is out in ACS Synthetic Biology!
Our work designing a system to control vesicle secretion, led by Kamat Lab undergrad Claire Hilburger, is out in ACS Synthetic Biology. Our work presents the design of a membrane AND gate that incorporates membrane-associating molecules as inputs that work in conjunction to control vesicle secretion. We’re thinking about 1) how to harness changes in membrane composition to […]
