WebsEdge is an international company specializing in providing educational TV channels at technical conferences. A production crew visited CHESS on January 14, conducting interviews and recording activities here. Through highly skilled editing, the resulting several hours of “footage” was distilled down into a 5-minute video presenting the essence of MacCHESS to the public. We retain the raw recordings for use in future presentations.
Microfluidic mixing chips are used by scientists to analyze biological molecules. They have small channels in which biological solutions, usually solutions of protein, are mixed. Biological small angle x-ray solution scattering (BioSAXS) is then used to study how these biomolecules change under different conditions, for example when they mix with hormones and drugs or when they interact with other biomolecules. These observations can help further our understanding of how cells function.

Gillilan, together with a former MacCHESS postdoc, Soren Skou and long time CHESS user, Nozomi Ando have distilled much of their knowledge into a Nature Protocols article.
