Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Plaxco Lab

• Studied unfolding thermodynamics of protein L to expand lab patented electrochemical biosensor platform

• Assisted in discovering that polyols confer no additional stability to proteins attached to surfaces with hydroxyl-terminated monolayers; assisted in data analysis of denaturation titrations using in-house written MatLab scripts

• Investigated the thermodynamic stability of protein L by circular dichroism following purification of its charge variants via various purification methods including SEC with AKTA-FPLC
