  • Variation in Irc7p activity amongst brewing strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Creator:
    Vega, Esteban A.
    Abstract:
    Polyfunctional thiols are sulfur containing compounds that are important to the flavor and aroma profile of some foods and beverages. S. Cerevisiae has been shown in wine yeast that it is capable of producing these thiols to create a fruity aroma and flavor profile. IRC7, a gene that codes the...

  • Rational design of ex vivo model of thrombosis

    Creator:
    Patel, Ishan A.
    Abstract:
    When vessel walls within the vasculature are damaged, exposed extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins trigger a series of events that lead to the formation of a hemostatic plug (Andrews et al. 2004, Furie et al. 2008, Watson 2009). Thrombus formation requires an orchestrated series of receptor-mediated events facilitating platelet recruitment, platelet...

  • Demonstration of an Alginate Valve in a Paper Microfluidic Device

    Creator:
    Cornwell, David Q.
    Abstract:
    Paper microfluidic devices are capable of processing fluids using capillary flow in materials that are lower cost than the standard materials used in microfluidics. Due to the low cost of their fabrication and minimal requirements for instrumentation, paper microfluidic devices are ideal for use in low-resource settings. They have the...

  • Surface patterning of biofilm : A toolbox study to detect microbial metabolites

    Creator:
    Nguyen, Kristine
    Abstract:
    Surface patterning of bacterial biofilm provides an opportunity to understand the microbial metabolic exchange between bacterial species. By using various techniques, one can put different bacterial species in close proximity and study their interaction by using various assay kits and analytical techniques. In this study, surface patterning of Pseudomonas aeruginosa...

  • Coaction of a Biomedical Device and Physiological Model for Thalassemia Therapy Modeling: Methods and Future Approaches

    Creator:
    Hull, Darke
    Abstract:
    The Jovanovic lab at Oregon State University (OSU) is developing iCore, a versatile blood processing platform which leverages microfluidic process intensification via increased mass transfer efficiency and decreased device footprint with the goal of creating a portable, wearable device. One application of iCore is for the treatment of hyperferremia resulting...

  • Functionalization of Surfaces with Nisin in a Polyethylene Oxide Brush Layer

    Creator:
    Ryder, Matthew P.
    Abstract:
    Infections in hospitals account for over 100,000 deaths per year. These infections occur at the hospital from complications following bacterial adhesion to intravenous catheters, coronary stents and other implanted devices. Another common problem is protein adsorption to the surface of the device and subsequent blood clotting. Methods for combating these...

  • Droplet‐Based Digital Microfluidics for Sample Collection

    Creator:
    Kusanto, Branden
    Abstract:
    Technology is constantly co-evolving with science to produce simple and effective tools that address the needs of researchers. Cost and time effective point-of-care devices are valuable for sample collection and analysis, particularly in medicine and environmental health and safety. Digital microfluidic (DMF) technology provides a possible solution. This study explores...
