Engineered Proteins as Multifunctional Materials

Date: January 14, 2021

Time: 11:00AM - 12:30PM

You must be registered to participate!

Living organisms have engineered remarkable protein-based materials through billions of years of evolution. These multifunctional materials have unparalleled mechanical, optical, and electronic properties that have served as inspiration for scientists to study and mimic. The December, 2020 issue of MRS Bulletin covers the mechanical and rheological properties of structural protein materials and nanocomposites; advancements in the synthesis and assembly of optical, electronic, and nanoscale protein materials; and recent developments in the processing of protein materials using liquid-liquid phase separation and 3D printing.

This webinar will present three talks with authors from the MRS Bulletin issue. An interactive Q&A will be held with each of the speakers following their talks.

Talk Presentations:

  • Proteins for Bio-Inspired Optical and Electronic Materials
    Sarah Glaven, Naval Research Lab
    Talk begins at 6:22
       
  • Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation of Protein and Peptides Derived from Biological Materials: Discovery, Protein Engineering, and Emerging Applications
    Ali Miserez, Nanyang Technological University
    Talk begins at 31:58
      
  • Engineered Proteins and Three-Dimensional Printing of Living Materials
    Anne Meyer, University of Rochester
    Talk begins at 1:00:41
