At the Rowland, the objective of the Dogic Lab was to understand and control the self-assembly of matter on a colloidal length scale. The basic building blocks used were colloids of chemical or biological origin with well controlled spherical or rod-like...
At the Rowland, the Sato Lab’s interests included quantum engineering based on superfluidity and superconductivity, multifunctional artificial materials & devices, inertial sensing technologies, matter wave interferometry, heat transport through hybrid...
At the Rowland, the Tao Lab sought structure-property relationships in nanoscale, heterogeneous matter through the development of single-nucleon magnetic resonance imaging. On this journey toward direct, 3D imaging of atomic structures, the lab was...
At the Rowland, the over-arching goal of the Wong Lab was to investigate how biological systems work at the nanoscale, and the physical laws that govern their behavior. They developed and applied novel methods for biophysics research, with a focus on non...
At the Rowland, the Hur Lab focused on developing innovative microfluidic techniques for sheathless particle positioning, cellular biophysical property measurements and label-free target cell purification. Inertial Focusing is a unique microscale...
The Raayai laboratory’s focus was on investigating 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...
During their time 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: (1) They developed the fruit fly as a micro-robotics...
The Feldmann Lab studies the next generation of functional materials needed for a more sustainable global energy production and consumption. For this, we explore the concept of symmetry breaking in novel soft semiconductors and nanomaterials to control...
At the Rowland, the focus of the Brucker Lab was on interactions of environmental toxins metabolized by the gut microbiome. They utilized natural product chemistry, ecotoxicology, population genetics, evolution, and experimental microbiota to test...
Plants are able to regenerate whole body parts like roots and shoots with relative ease because they demonstrate amazing cellular plasticity. Masters of dedifferentiation, plants not only retain pools of stem cells throughout their lives, but also create...
