Positive and Negative Chemotaxis of Enzyme-Coated Liposomes

Ambika Somasundar
Ph.D. Student
Pennsylvania State University

Ambika Somasundar is a 4th year chemical engineering graduate student working with Dr. Ayusman Sen and Dr. Darrell Velegol at Penn State.  Her research focuses on making colloids move and understanding why they move.  In this seminar, Ambika will discuss positive and negative chemotaxis (i.e., directional migration in response to chemical signals) of liposomal protocells based on the interplay between positive enzymatic catalysis-induced chemotaxis and solute-phospholipid interaction-based negative chemotaxis.  Controlling the extent of chemotaxis holds considerable potential for designing cell mimics and delivery vehicles that can reconfigure their motion in response to environmental conditions.

About the The Mid-Atlantic Micro/Nano Alliance (MAMNA) virtual seminars
These virtual seminars are livestreamed on YouTube Thursdays from 3:00 to 3:30 pm, and feature speakers from the MAMNA community from across the Mid-Atlantic region. Each talk is approximately 20 minutes long with 10 minutes of Q&A. The talks are also archived for future viewing.
