Great hike up Mt. Snow at the GRC on Drug Carriers in medicine and biology #DCMB2022 Gordon Research Conferences

Not too shabby of a place to chit chat about nanoparticles and drug delivery #DCMB2022 #GRCDrugCarriers

Having a great time at the #DCMB2022 Gordon Research Conferences with VU Engineering Vanderbilt BME @VUMC_Cancer friends and colleagues! A huge thanks to Samir Mitragotri Suzie Pun Prof. Katie Whitehead & Vadim Y Dudkin for organizing this fun and fantastic conference!

Congratulations to Immunoengineering Lab VU Engineering graduate student Lucinda Pastora for being selected as a 2023 SMDP Biotech Scholar! Very excited for Lucinda to have this well-deserved opportunity to be a part of this fantastic SMDP Scholars program!

Excited to share our latest publication in Science Immunology! Spearheaded by Lihong Wang Bishop and pushed to the finish by Blaise Kimmel, PhD, we discovered that STING-activating nanoparticles reprogram the immune-vascular interface to enhance #immunotherapy. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

I did a thing today!

The first US-based BlackinCancer Conference in partnership with the @FredNatLab is coming up June 20-21. This is a great opportunity for cancer-focused undergraduate, graduate students, post-docs, and early-career investigators! go.nih.gov/AB3CjAC #BiCconf24

Congratulations to Immunoengineering Lab student Lucinda Pastora for her recent publication! Lucinda is pioneering new projects on drug delivery systems for cGAS/STING pathway inhibitors. Check it out! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Congrats to Immunoengineering Lab VU Engineering graduate student Lucinda Pastora on winning the 2024 ChBE Department Best Research Paper by Senior Graduate Student Award!

Started as a side project in 2019, we are excited to finally share our recent publication in ACS Nano! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… Congrats to Lihong Wang Bishop, Moe Webb, Lucinda Pastora and all of the authors on this team effort!

A research team led by Immunoengineering Lab of Vanderbilt University describe the fabrication, characterization, and preclinical evaluation of a nanoparticle-based #immunotherapy that enhances #antitumor immunity via activation of the RIG-I pathway. Learn more: go.acs.org/99H

Excited to share our new @AdvSciNews paper on polymer-RNA conjugates for immunostimulation! Congrats to Immunoengineering Lab VU Engineering alumnus Dr. Christian Palmer and a big thanks to all co-authors for their important contributions to this study. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

I had the opportunity to hood three of my recent PhD students at the annual Graduate School Investiture on Saturday: Chris Geiger, Alexander Pastora and graduate student marshall Rebecca Valls (left->right). Plus I got to wear my fancy Wisconsin robes! M2P2 at Dartmouth Dartmouth CF Research Center

Congratulations to Dr. Lucinda Pastora on her successful PhD thesis defense today! We in the Immunoengineering Lab are super proud of you and everything you've accomplished. Awesome job!
