Proteomic Analysis of The Extracellular Matrix – From Wound Healing to Biomaterials

Alderson Hall 1613 Illinois St., Golden, CO, United States

The extracellular matrix (ECM) provides structural scaffolding and mediates signaling in the extracellular space. The protein component is resistant to chaotrope extraction, making proteomic characterization challenging. We have developed optimized protocols for extraction of ECM that have been refined using samples from many systems, allowing for molecular-scale assessment of ECM proteome composition and architecture. We […]

Physics Colloquium: “Photopolymer Additive Manufacturing from NIST to Mines: Novel Voxel & Sub-Voxel-Scale Characterization Throughout All Major Stages of the Printing Process”

CoorsTek Center for Applied Science and Engineering 1523 Illinois St., Golden, CO, United States

Callie Higgins NIST Abstract: Vat photopolymerization is a powerful additive manufacturing technique that address many applications ranging from personalized medicine to large-scale manufacturing. Unfortunately, these printing processes introduce micrometer-scale anisotropic inhomogeneities due to the resin absorptivity, diffusivity, reaction kinetics, and swelling during the requisite photoexposure. Previously, it has not been possible to characterize high-resolution mechanical […]

Physics Colloquium: “Unsupervised Machine Learning of Quantum Phase Transitions”

CoorsTek Center for Applied Science and Engineering 1523 Illinois St., Golden, CO, United States

Zhexuan Gong Colorado School of Mines, Physics Department Abstract:  Experimental quantum simulators have become large and complex enough that discovering new physics from the huge amount of measurement data can be quite challenging, especially when little theoretical understanding of the simulated model is available. Unsupervised machine learning methods are particularly promising in overcoming this challenge. […]
