I am tremendously proud and delighted to announce that the Virtual Issue for Bioconjugate Chemistry celebrating Women in Science is available! Please take a look. Erin Celebrating Women in Science   Advertisements

Rakan El-Mayta presented his work on screen printing tissues at the annual Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium. His work was highlighted as a great example of the work undergraduates do at UMBC. Well done, Rakan! https://news.umbc.edu/umbcs-summer-undergraduate-research-fest-2018-spotlights-talents-of-emerging-scientists/    

Congratulations to the lab on our contract to develop nanomaterials for self healing dental resins! We are tremendously excited to be working with the Naval Medical Research Command on this work.

We just received an NSF award, Collaborative Proposal: Engineered Architecture for Tissue Models with Rebecca Carrier at Northeastern! We are so excited to work together to develop new models of neural networks and the colon.

Narendra passed his qualifier on Tuesday. Well done, Narendra!  

Adam Day passed his qualifier on Tuesday. Well done, Adam!

We have had the privilege of collaborating with Pamela Vandevord and her group at Virginia Tech for a number of years looking at the role of hemostatic nanoparticles in blast trauma. In this work, we saw that not only did the particles improve survival and physiological outcomes following blast trauma, but they preserved neural tissue… Read More Our paper on blast trauma, brain injury, and hemostatic nanoparticles is published!
