About
Sowmya Kondapalli’s research centers on protein refolding and microfluidic device engineering, with a focus on developing precise tools for biochemical analysis. Her most cited work, “Refolding of β-galactosidase: microfluidic device for reagent metering and mixing and quantification of refolding yield” (2009), demonstrates her ability to integrate microfluidics with protein biochemistry. In this study, she designed a microfluidic platform that enables controlled reagent mixing and metering, allowing for efficient refolding of the model enzyme β-galactosidase and accurate quantification of refolding yields. This contribution addresses critical challenges in protein biotechnology, where misfolding often limits functional recovery. By miniaturizing and automating the refolding process, Kondapalli’s device offers a scalable approach for high-throughput screening of refolding conditions, with potential applications in drug discovery and enzyme production. Her work has garnered 8 citations, reflecting its relevance to researchers in microfluidics and protein engineering. Kondapalli’s innovative combination of engineering and molecular biology underscores her role in advancing lab-on-a-chip technologies for bioprocessing, making her a notable figure in the development of next-generation analytical tools.
