Scott Publication

Liam Scott, a trainee in the Zlotnick lab, has co-authored an ACS Nano study, titled Genetically Engineered Multichromophore Virus-Like Nanoparticles with Ultranarrow Distribution of Emission Intensity. The research, in collaboration with the Dragnea lab (another QCB trainee lab), demonstrates an approach to creating ultra-bright, uniform fluorescent nanoparticles using engineered viral capsid proteins. This work bridges virology, nanotechnology, and advanced imaging techniques, showcasing how viral assembly mechanisms can be repurposed for next-generation optical tools. Congratulations to Liam and the team on this contribution to nanotechnology and synthetic biology!
