Read more about Josh on the team page. Keep up the good work! The Jewell lab presented at the Society for Biomaterials 2017 National Meeting this week in Minneapolis, MN. Dr. Qin Zeng, postdoctoral scientist in the lab, presented a podium presentation on her work using microneedles to enhance cancer vaccination. Dr. Jewell chaired a session on immune engineering and presented the lab's work on engineering lymph node function and promoting immune tolerance. Thanks to all the organizers for the opportunity and to all the attendees and presenters. Read more about Qin on the team page, or learn more about the Society for Biomaterials.  Professor Jewell was named the University of Maryland's Graduate Faculty Mentor of the Year for 2017. This is a real honor and our success is only possible through the amazing group of people that make up our lab.
Thanks so much to all our current lab members and our alumni. Read more about our lab on the team page. Thank you everyone! The Jewell lab delivered 6 presentations at the American Chemical Society national meeting in San Francisco, CA this week. James Andorko, AAPS Graduate Fellow, and Lisa Tostanoski, NSF Graduate Fellow each presented their work during both oral and poster presentations. Dr. Jewell chaired a session on immune engineering and presented two talks on different technologies the lab is using to promote immune tolerance. Thanks to the organizers of all of the sessions for the opportunities, and to all the attendees and presenters! Read more about Jim and Lisa on the team page, or see how we spend some of our time below. 
 The final hurrah The American Chemical Society organized a press conference to highlight the lab's work being presented at the 2017 National Meeting to combat autoimmune disease more effectively and specifically. Follow this link to read the article or this link to view the video. These recent results gained global coverage, being highlighted by 100's of online and print media outlets.
Thanks to the ACS for this opportunity and to our research sponsors supporting this exciting project direction! Prof. Jewell and Graduate Fellows Josh Gammon, Krystina Hess, and Lisa Tostanoski each presented their research this week at the Keystone meeting on Immune Regulation in Autoimmunity and Cancer. Thanks to the organizers for the opportunity! Read more about Josh, Krystina, and Lisa on the team page, or see how we spent some free time...  |
