Prof. Jewell authors new editorial for Science Translational Medicine

5/24/2017

 
This week's issue of Science Translational Medicine (STM) includes a new editorial by Prof. Jewell highlighting research to understand how the design features of engineered nanoparticles direct specific features of immune tolerance during autoimmune disease. Dr. Jewell is an Associate Scientific Advisor at STM.

Dr. Jim Andorko receives PhD

5/21/2017

 
Congratulations to Dr. Jim Andorko, who received his PhD in Bioengineering yesterday - the first PhD awarded from our Lab! Jim came to us from Drexel University in 2012, where he was an AJ Drexel Scholar. During his PhD he created 15 papers and received 15 fellowships and awards. Some of the highlights include the University's Pelczar Award, the Keystone Symposia Future of Science Scholarship, the AAPS Doctoral Fellowship, an NIH Fellowship, and the Graduate Dean's Dissertation Fellowship. This summer Jim will begin his postdoctoral training with Dr. Drew Pardoll and Dr. Jennifer Elisseeff at Johns Hopkins University. Jim plans to launch his own lab after his postdoc.

Congratulations Jim on all of your accomplishments, and good luck!
