Wassana Yantasee Laboratory

Summary:

Our research program employs functionalized nanomaterials in biomedical devices and medicine. Our laboratory is a part of the Department of Biomedical Engineering, Oregon Health Science University (OHSU) School of Medicine. Our research involves development of animal models of kidney and metal-related diseases and applying the nanomaterials to diagnose, prevent, or treat such diseases.

Protocols

• Fluorescent dye-tagged SH-SAMMS protocol ( Protocol )
  

  This protocol describes a method for affixing fluorescent tags to SAMMS for analysis.

• ICP-MS analysis protocol ( Protocol )
  

  This technique is used to quantify the dissolution of silicon from silicon dioxide-based self-assembled monolayers on mesoporous supports (SAMMS).

• Modified Krebs-Henseleit buffer protocol ( Protocol )
  

  This protocol is used to produce test matrices for test for heavy metal removing reagents.

• SAMMS synthesis protocol ( Protocol )
  

  This protocol describes the process for the production of a variety of synthesis of self-assembled monolayers on meso-porous supports.

• Transendothelial electrical resistance measurement protocol ( Protocol )
  

  This process was used to measure the integrity of Caco-2 cells.
