The Fellow grade of membership is a prestigious honor recognizing outstanding achievement in biomedical engineering. Fellows have demonstrated impactful achievements and made significant contributions to the biomedical engineering community and to BMES. They are active leaders in the profession and within the Society. Dr. Ke Cheng was recognized for his contributions in translating adult stemContinue reading “Dr. Cheng is elected to be a BMES Fellow!”

Dr. Panagiotis Tasoudis is a postdoc research fellow in our lab and he just got matched into UNC cardiothoracic surgery residency. Congratulations and good luck to your residency!

In this work, we report a physical barrier against SARS-CoV-2 infection based on an inhalable bioadhesive hydrogel, named spherical hydrogel inhalation for enhanced lung defence (SHIELD). Good job Xuan & Junlang! Link: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41563-023-01475-7

The cover of our new paper in Nature Biomedical Engineering illustrates an inhalable virus-like-particle vaccine made of exosomes derived from lung cells and decorated with a recombinant SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41551-022-00902-5

Congratulations!!

Our paper recently published in @NatureNano develops ‘Nanodecoy’ therapy which can trick and trap SARS-CoV-2 virus. Link to the paper: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41565-021-00923-2 Congrats to Zhenhua, Zhenzhen and Uyen! Check it out in this video:
