Dr. Hudalla develops synthetic peptides that can assemble into a desired nano-scale architecture, and then use these peptides as \u201ctags\u201d to organize biologically active molecules into functional materials. This creates glycosylated materials to modulate the activity of carbohydrate-binding proteins by attaching carbohydrates to peptides that self-assemble into elongated nanofibers. In another project, we create peptides that co-assemble into prescribed nanofibers or globular coiled-coils only upon mixing, which when expressed as recombinant fusions with functional proteins of interest, direct the self-assembly of different proteins into multi-functional nanomaterials. Dr. Hudalla&#8217;s long-term goals are to create biomaterials that can modulate immune responses for treatment of autoimmune diseases, or create biomaterials that interfere with molecular-level events central to metastasis and viral infection.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Honors and Awards:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Young Innovator by Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering, 2016<\/li>\n<li>NSF CAREER Award, 2015<\/li>\n<li>Faculty Teaching Excellence Award, University of Florida Department of Biomedical Engineering, 2015<\/li>\n<li>National Science Foundation (NSF) Travel Award, Regenerative Medicine Workshop at Hilton Head, 2015<\/li>\n<li>Outstanding Contribution, Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering Journal, 2015<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Publications:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?user=6RlMVVsAAAAJ&amp;hl=en\">Gregory Hudalla&#8217;s\u00a0Publications<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Homepage:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bme.ufl.edu\/labs\/hudalla\/dr-hudalla\/\/\">Gregory Hudalla&#8217;s Homepage<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Assistant Professor,\u00a0J.
