Electrophoresis to study protein coronas?!?! Yes- we can do this! My first postdoc paper, a “proof-of-concept study” to demonstrate our technique for characterizing dendrimer-protein interactions is officially published in ACS Biomat Sci & Eng. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Thanks to CMSE for our REU workshop on the importance of STEM outreach and community engagement! Our #nanoREU students had a blast! #NSFfunded

Former Duvall Lab member and VU BME PhD student, Dr. Thomas Werfel, has been awarded tenure and will soon be promoted to Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Mississippi, starting July 1. Congratulations Thomas Werfel !

Thank you! I’ll always be grateful for the amazing training received at Vanderbilt BME under Duvall Lab. And grateful for all the support of Ole Miss Engineering!

Our #nanoREU students planned and led a Nanoengineering Outreach Day for high school summer campers. The day included lab tours and multiple hands-on activities. Outstanding job all around! #NSFfunded Ole Miss Research

Proud of our team for making this list! Lots more to come from the newly-established MS Nano-bio and ImmunoEngineering Consortium (NIEC)!

Thanks to the best lab for surprising me with a celebration of my Tenure and Promotion! More importantly, thank you to them for the work they do everyday. And thanks to my family for being by my side every step of the way.

I am really excited to be part of this U.S. National Science Foundation-funded collaborative effort to enhance the research and translation of nano-biomaterials in Mississippi, with Nicholas Fitzkee, Thomas Werfel, Tristan Clemons, Dr Eden Tanner and others across the state!

Excited to share our new method in Science Magazine to advance the properties of DLP-printed materials. This work was led by @apdhand & @fiber_matt in collaboration w/ Hannah Zlotnick & NIST colleagues.

What an absolute honor it was to host these incredible students for our #NSFfunded #nanoREU. They had their capstone poster presentation this morning and rocked it. When it was time to say goodbye, there were many hugs and even a few tears. (1/2)

Has been a great week of science, including hanging out with new and old lab members, at Drug Carriers GRC. Honored to be voted in as future meeting co-chair.

On behalf of Program Chairs & Committee, I'm thrilled to announce our distinguished speakers & exciting meeting agenda for SFBiomaterials Southeast Symposium, Georgia Tech in #Atlanta (Sep 19-20, 2024). Grateful to our sponsors! Early Bird Reg. ends 8/13. biomaterials.org/2024-regional-…

A new generation of vaccine #adjuvants tailored for the pediatric immune system could help overcome longstanding gaps in the design of #InfectiousDisease vaccines for children, according to a new Viewpoint from researchers at NIAID News. scim.ag/8hu

Thomas Werfel Lab 2024-2025. Super excited and energized for another great year working with this group of world-changers!

Very excited to announce that our startup company, Interval Therapeutics LLC, recently received its first STTR award! This award will enable the development of pulsatile drug delivery systems for mental health and substance use disorders.

We enjoyed hosting Jinting from Liz Wayne group this week! Productive and fun week to kick off an exciting collaboration!

Very excited to see this work hit the presses today! Excellent work by graduate student Kenneth Hulugalla in ACS Nano. He finds that glycopolymers adsorb less immunogenic proteins than PEG, leading to reduced clearance and better tumor delivery. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Excited to share this work, completing Dr. Shofolawe-Bakare's PhD dissertation. Glycopolymeric NPs target macrophages in the tumor microenvironment and block efferocytosis to reverse immune suppression. pubs.acs.org/doi/epdf/10.10…
