As the Director of Electronics Engineering at the Rowland Institute, Win oversees a fully appointed electronics engineering laboratory with instrumentation benches, an extensive suite of electronic test and measurement instrumentation, and a substantial...

Natural photosynthesis channels energy with exquisite spatial control: light is harvested, excitations split into charges, and those charges are steered to the exact sites where chemistry happens. Our lab aims to emulate these core principles with novel...

The Shi Lab seeks to uncover molecular mechanisms that drive brain aging and neurodegenerative diseases. We specialize in decoding glycans—complex carbohydrates that decorate our cells and permeate our brain’s extracellular environment. Despite their...

The Raayai laboratory studied the response of fluid flow to complex geometric boundaries such as textured surfaces and arrays of objects. Inspired by natural cases like ribs on shark scales and flight formation in pelicans, at the Rowland, they aimed to...

At the Rowland Institute, the Rayshubskiy lab worked at the interface between neuro-engineering and neurobiology. Using the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, as a model system, they developed the fruit fly as a micro-robotics platform; and they studied...

Our lab investigates how tissue-level architectures emerge from the material properties and spatial organization of subcellular structures. Currently, we are focusing on nuclear mechanics and positioning in the context of epithelial pseudostratification...

Our lab seeks to elucidate and control dynamic electrochemical processes at the nanoscale sites of complex electrodes that are critical to energy and environmental technologies. We are dedicated to advancing the applications and capabilities of cutting...

We study gene transfer agents (GTAs), a widespread but poorly understood mechanism of horizontal gene transfer. GTAs are bacterial-encoded virus-like entities that package random sections of the host genome for horizontal transfer to other cells in the...
