Jason Li has been part of the Asylum Research R&D team for three and a half years. The Asylum team have developed atomic force microscopes (AFMs) with unprecedented precision, accuracy and flexibility for materials and life science applications. Jason will speak about some of the technological innovations in the Asylum AFMs and the experiments that these microscopes are enabling.
Cellular membranes are remarkable materials - flexible, heterogeneous, two-dimensional fluids whose spatial organization is crucial to many biophysical processes. Little is known about the mechanisms that maintain various modes of organization, and this talk will explore some recent experiments on this theme. First, I'll discuss lipid membranes that phase-separate into coexisting fluid phases - widely believed to mimic phase-separation tendencies in membranes in vivo - and ask how the locations of the various phases can be controlled.
