Darryl Sasaki’s Expertise My past research interests focused on designing supramolecular assemblies in lipid films to mimic and study cell membrane processes. My lab developed functionalized lipid assemblies that selectively bind macromolecules (e.g., proteins, polymers), small molecules (e.g., peptides), and ions (e.g., metal cations). The binding events were designed to induce a structural change in the material that results in an optical or mechanical response. Through this work we developed optical sensor materials, characterized protein-membrane complexation at the nanoscale, and studied how molecular crowding and membrane mechanics drive curvature effects in lipid bilayers. My expertise in organic synthetic chemistry affords the ability to design and prepare lipid molecules with novel combinations of headgroup and tail chemistry for selective molecular affinity and unique colloidal properties. My expertise also encompasses surface coatings of nanoparticle for drug and protein delivery, biocompatible surfaces in microfluidic devices, and Langmuir monolayer film characterization and deposition.
