Lisa Tostanoski named 2015 Fischell Fellow

11/23/2015

 
Congratulations to NSF Fellow Lisa Tostanoski who has been named the 2015 Fischell Fellow. The Fischell Fellowship is the premier graduate student fellowship in the Robert E. Fischell Department of Bioengineering. The goal of the award is to support one talented graduate student each year in applied research that will impact the biomedical field through new therapeutics, devices, or technologies. As part of the award, Lisa will receive a grant to support a translational research project she designed. Congratulations to Lisa for this outstanding achievement!

Josh Gammon successfully defends M.S. Thesis

11/19/2015

 
On Tuesday Josh successfully defended his M.S. thesis, the first graduate degree awarded from our group! Josh presented his work on controlling immune cell function using nanoparticles to deliver metabolic drugs. He'll be continuing on in the PhD program with a focus on cancer immunotherapy. Great work Josh!

Kevin receives Best Presentation award at Mid Atlantic Biomedical Engineering Grad Program Fair

11/16/2015

 
Congratulations to ASPIRE Fellow Kevin Pineault for receiving the "Best Presentation" award at the 1st Annual Mid Atlantic Biomedical Engineering Grad Program Fair. The event was held at the University of Delaware and brought together undergraduates interest in graduate school from 13 universities around the region. Kevin presented his work on the immunogenic properties of degradable biomaterials. Congratulations to Kevin, our other presenter HHMI Fellow Arjun Adapa, and to all the participants from around the region!

National Multiple Sclerosis Society awards Jewell lab $599,000 grant to develop and study new vaccine idea for multiple sclerosis

11/6/2015

 
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society has awarded the lab a research grant to design and conduct pre-clinical testing on a new vaccine idea for multiple sclerosis. The project will combine cutting edge biomaterials and regulatory immune cues in an effort to induce immune tolerance while avoiding the broad suppression that is a challenges for many clinically-approved MS therapies. The grant will provide $598,715 to conduct the research over the next three years. Thanks to the National MS Society for their tremendous support and their efforts to stop and improve disease for MS patients.

Yu-Chieh leads new paper in ACS Biomaterials Science and Engineering

11/4/2015

 
Congratulations to Dr. Yu-Chieh Chiu, NIH Postdoctoral Fellow, who led the publication of a new paper from the lab in ACS Biomaterials Science and Engineering. Yu-Chieh's work describes a new type of vaccine assembled entirely from antigens and adjuvants. Since these vaccine capsules do not require polymers or other carriers, they offer a high signal density while mimicking attractive capabilities of polymeric materials such as co-delivery and tunable sizes. Congratulations to Yu-Chieh and co-authors Josh Gammon, Jim Andorko, and Lisa Tostanoski! The paper is open access and available here.
