Happy #InternationalWomensDay!

So excited that Sarthak Saha was awarded the 2024 UMass Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Best Dissertation Award for his research on "Advanced Microfluidics Platforms for Protein Crystallization and X-ray Crystallography"!

Complex Coacervate Emulsions as a Strategy to Stabilize Enzymes for Catalysis in Organic Solvents Complex coacervates have emerged as versatile platforms for protein encapsulation, enabling enzymatic catalysis in aqueous environments. Despite their potential, applications of coacervates are limite...

Check out our exciting new paper in @pubs.acs.org ACS Macro Letters on "Complex Coacervate Emulsions as a Strategy to Stabilize Enzymes for Catalysis in Organic Solvents!" pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Thank you.

So excited to partner with Charles Sing to work on this project!

ChE’s Sarah Perry Receives $636,834 NSF Award : Riccio College of Engineering : UMass Amherst This NSF project will benefit society by establishing a class of biology-inspired materials for use across chemical, agricultural, and industrial applications.

ChE Professor Sarah Perry is the principal investigator on a four-year, $636,834 award from the NSF to support her groundbreaking research to engineer materials that can modify the assembly of surfactants to improve the usefulness of numerous nano-scale structures.

Happy #firstdayofschool! #LlabLlama

Check out the awesome new paper from our group, just published in Biomacromolecules (doi.org/10.1021/acs....)! We looked at sequence effects in peptide complex coacervates. In addition to phase behavior studies, we also identified some really cool rheological phenomena!

Looking for awesome #SciArt crafts? Check out this pattern for a needlepoint porcine parvovirus. Colors can be used to highlight different regions of a capsid surface.

Congratulations to Khiem Le on having defended his MS thesis on the Development of Automated Infrastructure in Microfluidics for Site-Specific Labeling of RNA! @umasschemeng.bsky.social

#LlabLlama is having a great time at the #EPF2025 in #Groningen, the Netherlands. Great polymer science, people, chocolate, and even a tiny bottle of bubbly!p

Great science presented today by Arvind and the rest of the group at @umassamherst.bsky.social Polymer Day!

Best wishes to the #Classof2025 graduated from Perry Lab! #LlabLlama

Congratulations @umasschemeng.bsky.social @umassengineering.bsky.social #Classof2025!!!

It was so great to have Northeastern Chemical Engineering Prof. Sara Hashmi for Polymer Science & Engineering seminar! Awesome work on complex flows in microfluidics, and #LlabLlama even got a shout out from Muffin and Peaches!

Research to Illuminate Protein Structure | UMass Amherst Chemical engineering major Yaozu Chen '25 creates microfluidics to determine the structure of proteins, a precursor to designing drugs to target certain proteins.

So proud of the work that @umasschemeng.bsky.social senior Yaozu Chen has done during his time in the group! Congratulations on winning the @umassamherst.bsky.social Rising Researcher Award!

So excited to be attending the @apsphysics.bsky.social #DPOLY Short Course this year!

Congratulations!

Excellent!!!

Congratulations to @umasschemeng.bsky.social senior Yaozu Chen on being named a @umassamherst.bsky.social Rising Researcher!

Thanks so much to Prof. Amber Pete and all of the folks in Chemical Engineering at Missouri S&T for hosting me for a seminar visit!

Very excited for the #NECF Meeting tomorrow at Yale University! Thanks to Yimin Luo for organizing everything and putting together an awesome panel of #WomenInSTEM!

It was so great to have you on campus!!! #LlabLlama

Thanks so much to the @acspoly.bsky.social @acspmse.bsky.social folks at @floridastateuniv.bsky.social and FAMU for hosting me for their 4th Annual Polymer Research Symposium. It was a fantastic visit with great science and awesome people! #LlabLlama
