258 | Spaghetti-Noodles and Nanopores: Motion of Long-Chained Molecules
from GradCast · host Ariel Frame, Chantal Lemire, Nicholas Handfield-Jones, Roger Hudson, Taniya Nagpal, Viki Tellios, Yimin Chen, Connor Chato, Jenna Schlorff, Gavin Tolometti, Greg Robinson, Nikol Posnov, Monica Molinaro, Joyla Furlano
Navid Afrasibian, an MSc. candidate at the Department of Applied Mathematics, shares his research on the motion of long-chained molecules with hosts Nick Handfield-Jones and Yousuf Hasan. Navid compares the movement of the long-chained molecules that need to go through super-tiny pores called nanopores with a spaghetti-noodle on plate that needs to somehow move through a small hole at the center of the pate. In his studies and mathematical exploration, he has made observations that would benefit DNA sequencing scientists as well. Hosts: Yousuf Hasan, Nicholas Handfield-Jones Producer: Connor Chato
