It's a wrap for the 2022 GRC Drug Carriers meeting! Loved working with Samir Mitragotri and the great speakers, discussion leaders and contributors for the meeting. Next up in 2024: Vadim Dudkin and Prof. Katie Whitehead with Vice Chairs Theresa M. Reineke Natalie Artzi #DCMB2022

A highlight of a recent special issue: "Biomaterials Science and Engineering in the Middle East". This issue focuses on the recent advances in biomaterials science and engineering from the Middle East. go.acs.org/29S

Lucy Yang's (Lucy 🔜 Anaheim) paper and her artwork is featured on the cover of this month's ACS Analytical Chemistry Journals . She uses two aptamers developed our group to distinguish between SARS-CoV-2 variants in a single lateral flow assay. #MyACSCover UW Bioengineering Molecular Engineering & Sciences Institute pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

UW Molecular Engineering & Sciences Institute (under Pat Stayton's great leadership) has been an important community for my group and it is my privilege to serve as the next director starting July 2023. Molecular Engineering & Sciences Institute

Way to go, Lucy Yang Lucy 🔜 Anaheim!

Congratulations to these two outstanding scientists and UW Engineering alumni! UW Bioengineering UW Chemical Engineering

We have multiple open-rank faculty positions UMN Biomedical Eng! I'd be happy to connect with any interested applicants, either virtually or at the upcoming BMES conference. Please RT and share broadly! Apply here: apply.interfolio.com/114917

Our preprint is live! Pills 💊 are a cornerstone of medicine but can be hard to swallow. LIFT hydrogels combine the easy drinkability of liquids with the controlled release and stabilizing properties of solids - a pill that forms in your stomach!

Excited to share a fun collab (from unexpected results) with Suzie Pun Niren Murthy and Kunwoo Lee (of GenEdit Inc fame). authors.elsevier.com/c/1gOf9cI2~~Jw…

Check out our latest work in developing a peptide vaccine delivery platform! First paper from a co-advisee between Suzie Pun and Pat Stayton, and definitely not the last!

Excited to share a few papers from our group this past month: Lipid nanoparticle delivery in TBI pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… Sensing TBI-associated protease activity from urine onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… A review on nanomaterial delivery across dysfunctional BBB doi.org/10.1016/j.addr…

Congratulations to this great group of scientists and thanks Drew Sellers!

Scientists have appreciated for many decades that T cells have a sophisticated alarm system to tell healthy and dangerous cells apart in the body. The KuehLab from iBRIC-inStem and University of Washington wants to shed more light on this system to tailor immune responses. bit.ly/3O3Cscz

Patrick Stayton, Suzie Pun & team developed a novel polymer for targeted STING agonist drug delivery to dendritic cells, a key mediator of immunity, for cancer immunotherapy NEW #ASAP Read it here: go.acs.org/8LD

We're excited to announce that Cole DeForest, Weyerhaeuser Endowed Professor and associate chair for graduate studies in chemical engineering has been appointed Director of Education at the Molecular Engineering and Sciences Institute! moles.washington.edu/cole-deforest-…

MolES has launched a scientific advisory committee to work towards our mission of fostering scientific exchanges and new collaborations among MolES members! We're excited to see all they do! moles.washington.edu/moles-launches…

Join us in Seattle for the Biomaterials International Symposium July 13-17, 2025! Plenary speakers include Darrel Irvine, Tatiana Segura and Kunio Ishikawa. Abstract deadline April 30 for poster submissions. biomaterials-int.org Tatiana Segura Molecular Engineering & Sciences Institute

Congratulations to the three University of Washington faculty teams who have received the Molecular Engineering & Sciences Institute new Pilot Awards! From hormone signaling to immune modulation, we cannot wait to see what the teams of Drs. Shijie (SJ) Cao, Quansan Yang, and Jenny Robinson (Jenny Robinson) do! bit.ly/43WWNaB
