Washington Square Science

I am settling in to my new office at NYU. I am here collaborating with Prof Jasna Brujic, who is a great young scientist doing biophysics research. She likes to pull on proteins and cells with the atomic force microscope (AFM) to see if they are like snot or like yarn or like rubber bands or maybe even like velcro.

Here is the new microscope in the lab:

 

One of the things we will be doing in the Brujic lab is maintaining tissue cultures, preparing samples, and developing experimental protocols for the BioBus. This microscope is the first step in getting all that going!
