    • Engineered catalytic biofilms: Site-specific enzyme immobilization onto E. coli curli nanofibers 

      Botyanszki, Zsofia; Tay, Pei Kun Richie Richie; Nguyen, Peter Q; Nussbaumer, Martin; Joshi, Neel S. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2015)
      Biocatalytic transformations generally rely on purified enzymes or whole cells to perform complex transformations that are used on industrial scale for chemical, drug, and biofuel synthesis, pesticide decontamination, and ...
    • Programmable biofilm-based materials from engineered curli nanofibres 

      Nguyen, Peter Q; Botyanszki, Zsofia; Tay, Pei Kun Richie; Joshi, Neel S. (Nature Publishing Group, 2014)
      The significant role of biofilms in pathogenicity has spurred research into preventing their formation and promoting their disruption, resulting in overlooked opportunities to develop biofilms as a synthetic biological ...
    • Scalable Production of Genetically Engineered Nanofibrous Macroscopic Materials via Filtration 

      Dorval Courchesne, Noemie-Manuelle; Duraj-Thatte, Anna M; Tay, Pei Kun Richie Richie; Nguyen, Peter Q; Joshi, Neel (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2016-10-26)
      As interest in using proteins to assemble functional, biocompatible and environmentally- friendly materials is growing, developing scalable protocols for producing recombinant proteins coupled to straightforward fabrication ...
    • A Synthetic Circuit for Mercury Bioremediation Using Self-Assembling Functional Amyloids 

      Tay, Pei Kun Richie Richie; Nguyen, Peter Q; Joshi, Neel S. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2017)
      Synthetic biology approaches to bioremediation are a key sustainable strategy to leverage the self-replicating and programmable aspects of biology for environmental stewardship. The increasing spread of anthropogenic mercury ...
