Please join us for the Society for Biomaterials (SFBiomaterials)'s inaugural Northwest Symposia here in Seattle University of Washington on Sept. 19-20, 2024! Exciting speakers, posters, social, & networking. Early bird registration ends THIS FRIDAY (8/23). Register here: biomaterials.org/2024-regional-…

New paper! When I was a student chemistry intimidated me until I learned how it forms the basis of biology. In this paper we explore how students enter intro bio with a whole range of prior experiences and feelings about chemistry in biology. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jm…

The *first* Porras Tissue-Microbe Interactions Lab paper is out GEN Biotechnology! We worked w. Peter Kima's lab to perform a scoping review on engineered disease models of neglected tropical diseases caused by protozoan parasites. 1/n liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/ge… 🧶🦠- a leishmania promastigote

Not only does the UC cancelling the MOP prevent us from getting a below rate mortgage, but it also completely prevents new faculty from using the 150k ZIP loan designed for a downpayment. Insult to injury here...

I was at awe today hearing from our inspirational leader JoAnn Trejo - Unity, Decency, Science & Yes, Truth. You have touched the lives of so many including myself♥️♥️♥️ Thank you for paving the way. We are a better world because of you.

The 2024 Young Innovators issue is coming... see anyone you recognize? Michael King Rob Raphael Joyce Wong Biomedical Engineering Society @CMBE

#NCIJI2024: Kolade Adebowale, Ph.D. UC San Diego Bioengineering is presenting the dynamics of macrophage tumor infiltration.

The Howard Hughes Medical Institute has named BioSci Graduate Student Madeleine Duquette and Professor Elizabeth Villa as recipients of a 2024 Gilliam Fellowship, which was established to recognize mentorship and diversity in science. Congratulations! go.ucsd.edu/3Z1u0AW

Big milestones for the #AguadoLab this week - Rayyan Gorashi, MS & Nicole is getting her PhD are now 💥PhD Candidates!!💥 Extra icing on the cake: Rayyan Gorashi, MS was also awarded an NIH F31 Predoctoral Fellowship the day before her exam! Lots to celebrate as we close out the summer! ☀️ UCSD Engineering UC San Diego Bioengineering

Injectable biomaterials can be delivered in a minimally invasive way, but are complex to design. In their Review, Christman Lab outline design considerations for injectable bulk and particle materials, and examine safety and testing considerations UC San Diego Bioengineering go.nature.com/3Xkkx6e

Congrats to Dr. Michael Nguyen and Maria Karkanitsa 🌻 on their review article now out in Nature Reviews Bioengineering. If you are interested in designing injectable biomaterials, check it out.

Elizabeth Villa (Elizabeth Villa, UCSD BioSciences), and colleagues, have unveiled the structure of the nuclear basket, key to how cells control what enters/exits the nucleus. This could reshape our understanding of gene expression & DNA organization. More: cell.com/cell/pdf/S0092…

Crafting tales of science with Dr. Theanne Griffith 🇧🇧👩🏾‍🔬🇭🇷: A lifelong passion for writing helped the neuroscientist land a book deal and publish 15 chapter books for early readers, covering topics ranging from what the cerebellum does to how a cake bakes. hubs.li/Q02NdSf80 #WomenInSTEM

Our manuscript is out in Advanced Functional Materials Today! We show that nano-materials can induce transient openings in the nuclear membrane without penetrating the cells, breaching the nucleo-cytoplasmic barrier.

It’s a privilege to share our paper reporting a patient’s treatment for a rare cancer, powered by #CurateAI. During the course of this journey, the patient has been with us over 3 years, and remains on trial. Key findings: 💊 Achieved stable disease with reduced dosing. 💊

So excited to be hosting Phillip Messersmith starting tonight! Fun fact, Phil was part of my thesis committee and is the Chair of my alma mater, Berkeley Bioengineer.
