DESCRIPTION:Proteins are the active molecules of life. However\, most prot
 eins do not work on their own in health or disease\; a key challenge\, the
 refore\, is understanding how these molecules interact with each other to 
 give rise to function or malfunction. This talk will outline our efforts t
 o discover\, understand and use the basic principles that drive protein as
 sembly into larger scale structures and phases. I will discuss how control
 ling transitions between such phases can help us ameliorate biological mal
 function when it occurs in disease\, and well as develop new classes of fu
 nctional materials.
