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!

This is probably the most important paper of my career. It deals with not only designing a new particle that can stop internal bleeding but doing it without triggering an off-target complication where nanoparticles cause vessels to open up and bleeding to get worse. This work is the result of a fantastic team of people… Read More Our paper on large animal models of trauma is published!

Today, Sydney defended her Master’s proposal on the development of self healing resins for dental applications. It was one of the most thorough and thoughtful proposals I have ever had the honor of witnessing. Well done, Sydney! Congratulations!
