Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Jay Grate

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

The goals of this project are to (1) test combinations of fluorescent tag, cellulose form, dye-cellulose conjugation method, and microscopy modalities to demonstrate, for the first time, the ability…

Single Cell Analysis Using Microfluidics Coupled to Ultrasensitive Mass Spectrometry

Lead Institution

Brigham Young University

Principal Investigator

Ryan Kelly

Proteomics and metabolomics measurements in their present form require large populations of cells and thus average over and obscure important heterogeneity that is present even in clonal populations…

Single-Cell Chemical Imaging in Micro- and Nanofluidics for Biofuel Research

Lead Institution

University of Idaho

Principal Investigator

Andreas Vasdekis

Microorganisms have been heavily employed to synthesize practical chemical substances, a capability that that has been recently enhanced, or diversified via genetic engineering. To this end, biofuel…

Single Cell Lipid Turnover Analysis in Advanced Biofuel Microorganisms by nano-SIMS (sc-LTA)

Lead Institution

University of Idaho

Principal Investigator

Andreas Vasdekis

Sustainable supersonic jets and race cars have become a reality due to the microbial production of advanced biofuels and their ‘drop in’ compatibility with the existing transportation infrastructure…

Imaging lipid genesis using Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry: a proof-of-concept investigation

Lead Institution

University of Idaho

Principal Investigator

Andreas Vasdekis

Project type

Limited Scope

Supersonic jets and race cars powered by advanced biofuels have become a reality. These are substantially more energy-dense than widely available bioethanol supplements, and thus ‘critical’ to…
