Emily, Haleigh author new paper from the lab In Nature Materials (featured on cover!)

5/25/2018

 
Congratulations to PhD students Emily Gosselin and Haleigh Eppler, who led the publication of a new paper from the lab in Nature Materials this week! The paper reviews recent developments and upcoming challenges at the interface of immunology and tissue engineering. This research area could enable designer immune tissues to improve vaccines, immunotherapies, and diagnostics. Congrats to Emily, Haleigh, and our collaborator at the medical school, Dr. Jon Bromberg. Keep up the great work!

HHMI Undergraduate Fellow Jessica Yau graduates (with honors!)

5/21/2018

 
Congratulations to our newest alumna, Ms. Jessica Yau! Jessica just received her B.S. in Bioengineering and earned our department's elite Honors certificate, awarded to just a handful of graduates each year.

A few words about Jessica: She joined the lab in January 2015 as a freshman at the University of Maryland. Jessica received numerous awards, including a prestigious HHMI Fellowship, and earlier this year, the 2018 Fischell Outstanding Leadership Award. Jessica will wrap up a research paper on her work this summer before beginning a position at the NIH as a Post Bac IRTA Fellow. She plans to attend graduate school after her 1 year IRTA fellowship.

Congratulations Jessica and stay in touch! We're proud of you...

Prof. Jewell awarded University of Maryland Research Communicator Impact Award

5/13/2018

 
Prof. Jewell has been awarded the University of Maryland's 2018 Research Communicator Impact Award. The Research Communicator Impact Award was created in 2015 to honor UMD researchers who take a proactive approach to sharing their research or opinions on research issues and policies with the public. Researchers are nominated in three categories: faculty cited in the media, op-ed in news outlet, and new media. Dr. Jewell received the award in the "faculty cited in media" category for national media coverage during 2017 of his lab's research using nanotechnology to fight cancer and autoimmune disease, making these new ideas accessible to a broad audience.
