Paola Colon De Leon

As a member of the Ulijn lab and Tu lab, Paola Colon is interested in the emulsification of peptides in the air/water interface and self-assembly of these structures when you change conditions as: pH, concentration, buffer and temperature. We want to have an understanding on how this phenomenon occurs in some selected amino acid sequences and tripeptides. To make this a reality, Paola works with cutting-edge techniques: in SPPS, LC-MS, PREP-HPLC, Confocal Microscope, NMR, TEM, FTIR, UV-vis, Fluorescence, and novel approaches to sample preparation. When not in lab, Paola likes to travel to new places, cook new recipes, go to the gym and lift weights, play videos games, listen to music and read.
