PhD Student Long Tran and co-authors have unveiled NovoTags, a designed protein for improved imaging. NovoTags are designed proteins that can illuminate (or “tag”) specific areas of cells so they can be better studied under a microscope. "We hope these designed proteins become go-to tags for everyday microscopy,” Tran, a student in the @uwbakerlab, says. “Ultimately, we hope these tools become as routine and widely adopted among imaging biologists as HaloTag and SNAP-tag — established labeling systems that have become part of the field’s standard toolkit.” Learn more at cheme.washington.edu/news by @uwcheme

Jackson Comes, a PhD student in ChemE, recently published a children's storybook based on his research. The story uses a recipe book as an analogy for his work in genetic engineering. “My hope is that years from now, a student who read this book as a child learns about genetics in school and suddenly realizes, ‘Wait...this is what Lila was doing!’" Jackson says. "If this story sparks even one future scientist, engineer, or simply a lifelong curiosity about the natural world, I'd consider it a success.” The storybook was written as part of the Ahshay Center Storybook Project. by @uwcheme

Meet Anna Stewart! Anna is a third-year Ph.D. student working in Dr. Samson Jenekhe’s lab. She will present her research in the areas of clean energy and sustainability at tomorrow’s research showcase. Here’s Anna describing her research: “I study structure-property relationships in conjugated polymers for organic electronics, which offer unique opportunities for lightweight, flexible, and solution-processible electronic devices. My research focuses on the conjugated ladder polymer poly(benzimidazobenzophenanthroline) (BBL) and its derivatives, which are promising materials for applications including organic electrochemical transistors and neuromorphic devices. I investigate how molecular and nanoscale packing influence electronic and ionic charge transport using transmission electron microscopy, electrical conductivity, and electrochemical measurements. This work revealed orientational heterogeneity and three-dimensional interchain registry in BBL thin films, providing new insight into how polymer microstructure can be controlled to improve the performance and stability of emerging organic electronic devices.” The Department Research Showcase highlights the research of graduate students and postdocs in ChemE. This post is the third in a three-part series spotlighting students who will present their research at the Showcase this Thursday, September 24.

Joelle Scott is a fifth-year Ph.D. student in Dr. David Bergsman’s lab. Here’s Joelle describing her research in advanced materials and clean energy, which she will present at the Department Research Showcase on Thursday: “My work focuses on the removal of PFAS, or "forever chemicals", from water through membrane filtration. I am utilizing a vapor-phase synthesis process known as Molecular Layer Deposition (MLD) to fabricate these membranes with various polymer thin film chemistries. By varying these chemistries, I can assess how changing membrane hydrophilicity impacts PFAS removal performance.” The Department Research Showcase highlights the research of graduate students and postdocs in ChemE. This post is the second in a three-part series spotlighting students who will present their research at the Showcase this Thursday, September 24.

Hey everyone, meet Faiza! Faiza Abdillahi is a second-year Ph.D. student in @profnance's lab. Faiza will present at the Department Research Showcase next Thursday, September 24. Here’s Faiza on her upcoming showcase presentation: “My research focuses on identifying modifiable factors that are associated with cognitive health in older adults. At the research showcase, I will present results from an ongoing analysis examining which health, lifestyle, and other potentially modifiable factors are most strongly associated with cognitive performance. I will also show how these factors relate to cognition, including whether their effects appear to be linear or whether there are certain ranges or thresholds where the relationship changes. The long-term goal is to better understand which factors may offer practical opportunities to support healthy cognitive aging.” The Department Research Showcase highlights the research of graduate students and postdocs in ChemE. This post is the first in a three-part series spotlighting students who will present their research at the Showcase this Thursday, September 24.
