The AIMBE is the authoritative voice and advocate for the value of medical and biological engineering to society. For their annual meeting, they invited Dr. Cato T. Laurencin as their designated honored guest. today.uconn.edu/2025/07/profes…

AIMBE is excited to share a recent press release from the Heart Rhythm Society Journal spotlighting new articles on the role of fluoropolymers in medical devices & delivery systems—and the patient risks posed by sweeping PFAS regulations! go.bsky.app/redirect?u=htt… 🧵 See Below (1/4) 👇

These articles detail the use of fluoropolymers in life-saving devices—and the implications of PFAS regulations on patient care. Article 1 (Role of PFAS): bit.ly/4nXer7m Article 2 (PFAS Regulation): bit.ly/4lHvGYD Editorial: bit.ly/3Ivzbmm (2/4)

These efforts were led by our: - Executive Director: Dawn Beraud - Past President Joyce Wong - Industry Fellows: Paul Drumheller & Nadine Ding - Past Industry Chair: SuPing Lyu - Collaborator Pierce Vatterott - Participants of AIMBE's January 2024 PFAS Roundtable (3/4)

AIMBE is excited to host its next roundtable in Fall 2025, focused on Supply Chain Regulation. We will convene stakeholders across academia, industry, and government to address technical, regulatory, and manufacturing priorities in biomedical innovation 💪 (4/4)

Come help define the field of engineered living materials!

Check out our latest collaborative research article in PNAS PNASNews with The Drew Weissman Lab and Vlad Muzykantov's labs on cardiotropic lipid nanoparticles for therapeutic siRNA delivery to the heart! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Excited to represent AIMBE today at NIH NIBIB as we host 50 congressional staffers to learn about the latest Discoveries in Health Technology!

Huge congrats to Jon DeBonis for winning the ⁦Merck⁩ best poster award ⁦Controlled Release Society⁩ annual meeting!!! Rice University Bioengineering⁩ ⁦Oleg Igoshin⁩

Three generations of AIMBE Presidents, I love working with this team! Past-President Joyce Wong (current Prez of SFBiomaterials) President Lola Eniola-Adefeso President-Elect meeeeeeeeee

This is very cool! UTSA student-athletes who are first-generation college students will wear special patches on their uniforms recognizing their accomplishment of being the first in their family to attend college. goutsa.com/news/2025/07/1…

Thrilled to share our latest in Nature Biomedical Engineering Nature Biomedical Engineering led by Mike Mitchell Postdocs Ningqiang Gong Dongyoon Kim on a Mannich reaction approach to create antioxidant lipid nanoparticles for safer and effective mRNA therapy! Free access: rdcu.be/ewN8H

Fewer side-effects, more effectiveness. Mike Mitchell's lab redesigned mRNA lipid nanoparticles using olive oil-inspired chemistry. Adding phenol groups reduces inflammation, making mRNA therapies safer & more effective. "It's a win-win," says Mitchell.

Huge congrats to Jon DeBonis for winning the Merck Best Poster Award at the Controlled Release Society Annual Meeting! Proud moment for Rice University Bioengineering and the Oleg Igoshin lab! #CRS2025 #MerckAward #RiceBioengineering #PosterWinner #BiomedicalResearch

A great article on why supporting NIH (and also NSF) funding is so vital for the US, no matter which political party you support. open.substack.com/pub/yourlocale…

Missing the good old days when the NCI payline was “only” 8th percentile. In prior NCI projections, the R01 payline goal this year was supposed to be 15. Sadly, we have gone the other way. 😢

Congratulations to Prof. Lydia Kavraki of Rice University News Rice University, elected a Member of the European Academy of Science EurASc in the Computational and Information Sciences  Division. Already in National Academy of Engineering National Academy of Medicine National Academy of Sciences American Academy of Arts & Sciences TAMEST Academy of Athens

Everyone knows to not touch these particular breakfast burritos at lab meeting, even when “Mike Boss” shows up late 😂👀
