There is huge potential to reduce patient burden by reducing the dosing frequency of peptide drugs with long-acting delivery formulations. Here is an awesome example by Andrea d'Aquino and Eric A. Appel !

News! New drug delivery system could reduce daily diabetes shots to just three a year - Dietary management drugs have transformed Type 2 diabetes care, but can be challenging for some patients. A new hydrogel could mean shots just three times a year. tinyurl.com/3jk42k8s

Dietary management drugs have transformed Type 2 diabetes care, but daily injection routines are challenging for some patients. A new hydrogel could mean shots just three times a year. Eric A. Appel stanford.io/4140EAC

What if a Single GLP-1 Shot Could Last for Months? medscape.com/viewarticle/wh…

Pumped to see Andrea d'Aquino’s work on months-long-acting GLP1 drugs highlighted as the top story of the year Stanford University Stanford Materials Science and Engineering!

Happy to have had the opportunity to write this nature News & Views with @SophiaJBailey on Prof. Bozhi Tian's new work on evolving biointerfaces to improve tissue regeneration and bioelectronics, now out in the first edition of Nature Chemical Engineering! nature.com/articles/d4158…

It's been exciting to work on new materials to improve human health in the Eric A. Appel. Huge thanks to Scripps News for covering this work and to Schmidt Science Fellows for supporting this work.

Huge thanks to Schmidt Science Fellows and the Eric A. Appel for their support of my research and for the opportunity to work on these interdisciplinary projects!

What an awesome piece on Andrea d'Aquino and her research! Beautifully showcases her interdisciplinary interests.

Andrea d’Aquino (Andrea d'Aquino) is a Schmidt Science Fellow in the Eric A. Appel Stanford Materials Science and Engineering and is doing amazing interdisciplinary work developing novel biomaterials for multiple applications from treating diabetes to preventing wildfires!

This film, and the amazing work of Andrea d'Aquino , capture what the Schmidt Science Fellows program is all about…

From daily injections to three shots a year: Andrea d’Aquino, a @schmidtfellow, pioneers new drug delivery system for people with diabetes. Meet her in this short video. youtube.com/watch?v=6Isj_y…

Schmidt Science Fellow Emma Bonglack BHF Cardiovascular Epidemiology Unit at Cambridge Cambridge University is breaking new ground in genetics, focusing on diseases in populations often overlooked by research. Her goal? Health solutions that work for everyone. Full film: youtu.be/1KutcsSW_j0

Researchers at Stanford Engineering have developed a sprayable gel that creates a shield to protect buildings from wildfire damage. It lasts longer and is more effective than existing commercial options. @appelgroup engineering.stanford.edu/magazine/new-g…

Fantastic work from the Eric A. Appel including Schmidt Science Fellow Andrea d'Aquino Incredible innovation on such a critical issue

Strong bonds across cohorts are key to our community. And we are so lucky to have six amazing Senior Fellows facilitating our Science Leadership Program this week, creating new connections with our 2024 Fellows. Thank you!

The joy of talking about bringing minorities into STEM! ♥️ Andrea d'Aquino Erin Huiting Schmidt Science Fellows

Culture, community, ambition, risk, failure, and perseverance. Inclusion, perspective, and reflection...no punting...but pasta, and how to change the world. That's a wrap on the first Science Leadership Program for our 2024 Fellows.Thanks to all who made it special. Safe travels.
