Check out our recent work in Acta Biomaterialia! We used peptoid structure to decouple hydrogel network connectivity from elasticity, then explored hMSC behavior on these gels. Soft conditions enhanced hMSC immunosuppressive capacity. authors.elsevier.com/a/1gBJC6CFjZMQ…

I am honored to share that I have received the K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award from @NIGMS. I would like to thank my mentor Adrianne Rosales for her incredible support and guidance as well as my mentoring team Elizabeth Cosgriff-Hernandez, Zoldan Lab, GarciaLabGT, Raj R. Rao, Ph.D (he/his/him).

Excited to be a part of this great group of researchers in health sciences and engineering. Thank you to Cornell BME, Columbia BME, and Johns Hopkins BME for this incredible opportunity. Looking forward to meeting everyone in Ithaca in September!

Happy to be a part of the third cohort of the Provost’s Early Career Fellows at UT Austin! provost.utexas.edu/equity/early-c…

Dr. Lydia Contreras and Provost Wood welcomed the Provost's Early Career Fellows yesterday with the message to "think boldly and creatively." This year's cohort is made up of representatives from 9 different colleges and schools, showcasing the wide array of talent at UT Austin

Trainees 2023! We can't wait to see your what you do next!

Finally, we have the exciting news that the LT LatinX in ChE has been awarded the 2023 IDEAL Star Award from American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE). We to invite everyone to the reception of the award @5:30pm, and join us in thanking all the #LatinX members, allies and sponsors that make this possible.

Part of our leadership team (Fabiola Chapa Villarreal, David Castilla-Casadiego 🇨🇴, and Isabela Ramirez Velez) at the University of Texas at Austin (TexasChE) celebrating the 2023 IDEAL Award we were awarded during the AIChE Annual Meeting American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) !

Happy to share our most recent work in Macromolecular Bioscience! This study highlights the importance of hydrogel stiffness in dictating the immunoregulatory potential of hMSCs in the presence of interferon-gamma (IFN-𝛾). Adrianne Rosales Logan Morton onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

I am happy to share that I will be starting my career as an assistant professor in the Biomedical Engineering Department at the University of Miami in Spring 2025! Special thanks to my fantastic mentors Dr. Adrianne Rosales and Dr. Jorge Almodóvar

Happy to share our latest review paper published in @Biomacromolecules! This review highlights how stimuli-responsive materials have been used to promote the immunomodulatory potential of stromal cells by controlling their secretory activity. Adrianne Rosales pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

The highlight of the day at #BMES2024 was getting current and former group members all in one place! Very proud of everyone! #proudpi Lilly Hutchinson Luis Carlos Pinzón H David Castilla-Casadiego 🇨🇴 Katherine A. Miranda M Melanie Nelson

Excited to share that today was the first group meeting of the Castilla - Casadiego Lab! Pictured here are the three PhD students who are currently part of the lab and will be part of starting this new journey with me!
