Membrane curvature promotes ER-PM contacts in cardiomyocytes. Excited to share our work published in Nature Cell Biology today. Congratulations to Yang and the team! nature.com/articles/s4155…

UCSD CSE Helia (Helyaneh) Ziaei Jam Melissa Gymrek @NANO_UCSD Nisarg Shah Liangfang Zhang UCSD MATS Zhengxing Li Joe Wang .@NANO_UCSD PhD candidate Ali Sarikhani engineers nanoscale bioelectronic devices for advanced sensing and targeted delivery. He demonstrated the ability of nanoscale materials to induce transient nuclear envelope openings, with implications for intra-nuclear delivery platforms

Congratulations to our talented PhD student Ali Sarikhani for being awarded the Siebel Scholarship. The Siebel Scholars program recognizes the most talented students for their outstanding academic performance. We are very proud of you Ali Sarikhani!

Thank you for highlighting our work preLights

Engineers have developed a technology to overcome one of biology's toughest barriers: a cell's nucleus. They've crafted nanopillars that can create tiny openings in the nucleus—without damaging the cell’s outer membrane. Zeinab Jahed Ali Sarikhani @NANO_UCSD today.ucsd.edu/story/nanopill…

Check out our work in collaboration with Lingyan Shi where we studied how the nanotopography of the microenvironment impacts cellular metabolism.

Check out our latest research, led by the talented Ghafar Yerima from MofradLab combining all-atom molecular dynamics simulations with on-chip curved lipid bilayer systems to explore nanoscale protein interactions with curved membranes. Ching-Ting Tsai Bianxiao Cui Mohammad R. K. Mofrad

The second paper from our collaborations with Lingyan Shi is out! Together we are uncovering how nanoscale deformation of cells and their nuclei influence cellular metabolism. Amazing work by Zhi Li and Ali Sarikhani. Stay tuned for more results from this collaboration!

Our work on sub-cellular neuronal recordings has just been published in Nature Microsystems and Nanoengineering. This work was led by our lab's very own "neurophile," Shivani R Shukla 🧠 in collaboration with Gene Yeo’s Lab at UC San Diego, Muotri, and Cauwenberghs Labs at UCSD, Andreas Offenhäusser and

We’ll be attending #CellBio2024 , right here in our hometown of sunny San Diego! 🌴☀️Our team will be presenting exciting talks and posters by Keivan rahmani Shivani R Shukla anumtahir Dhivya Pushpa Emmet Francis @padminirangamani Looking forward to an exciting meeting!

We look forward to your visit Ankur Singh! Chemical and Nano Engineering UC San Diego

What happens when you let a little #AI into your heart? Researchers co-led by Zeinab Jahed developed an AI-driven method to noninvasively monitor electrical activity inside heart muscle cells—from the outside.
