Research
Studies in bionanotechnology centered around fabrication and application of LLNL’s NanoLipoprotein Particle (NLP) technology. NLP are cell membrane-bilayer containing nanoparticles that form when apolipoproteins and (phospho)lipids are mixed together and a particle-generating self-assembly event occurs. NLPs can serve as a platform for antigen presentation resulting in a vaccine (NIH funded research) or be conjugated with a microbial hydrogenase for non-petroleum based hydrogen production, i.e. biological hydrogen (Nzyme2HC collaboration) or adsorb functional rubber transferase biosynthetic enzymes to enable plant-free natural rubber production (USDA-ARS, Albany, CA).
