Emma Rawlins

Emma Rawlins is an MRC Senior non-clinical fellow based at the Gurdon Institute, University of Cambridge and her laboratory works on lung developmental and stem cell biology and regeneration.

Specific questions addressed include: How are our lungs built and maintained? How does this go wrong in disease? Can we use our insights from developmental biology to induce effective lung regeneration? Or to promote improved maturation of premature lungs?

The laboratory uses a combination of human embryonic lung organoids and mouse genetics as model systems. They perform multiple...Read more

Ratul Chowdhury

Ratul Chowdhury graduated with a Bachelors of Engineering degree in Chemical Engineering from India in 2009. He joined the research group of Prof. Costas Maranas at Penn State for his PhD after that. His thesis presents a novel set of computational protein design tools and some success stories achieved using these tools. These tools are unique in essence that they employ a synergy between mixed integer linear optimization and molecular mechanics calculations to identify novel sequences of channel proteins, enzymes and antibody variable fragments. These novel sequences accomplish an...Read more
