The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation has awarded the lab a 2-year, $500,000 grant to design and study a new vaccine concept aimed at type 1 diabetes. The project will harness degradable polymers and regulatory immune cues to promote specialized immune cells that control malfunctioning cells that attack the body during type 1 diabetes. Thanks to the JDRF for this incredible support!

Congratulations to Dr. Yu-Chieh Chiu, who has been awarded a 2nd year of NIH funding through the University of Maryland Medical School's Cancer Biology T32 Training Grant. The award supports Dr. Chiu's work to design modular vaccines for improving cancer immunotherapy. Great work!
Read more about Yu-Chieh on our team page. Last week Prof. Jewell presented two talks at the annual meeting of the Controlled Release Society. The presentations were part of sessions focused on Tissue Engineering and on Peptides, Proteins, and Vaccines. Thanks to the organizers for the opportunity to present and to all the speakers for fantastic talks.
Congratulations to Dr. Yu-Chieh Chiu, NIH Postdoctoral Fellow, who led a new paper from the lab this week in ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces. The paper follows up on Dr. Chiu's earlier paper in ACS Biomaterials Science and Engineering to study the assembly, stability, and processing by immune cells of polyelectrolyte multilayer capsules assembled from immunological signals. The paper is open access and available free of charge at this link.
