Scientists at Tufts University School of Engineering develop a novel tattoo-like oxygen sensor made from silk gel that glows when exposed to light, and in the future might be adapted to track glucose and other blood components. fal.cn/3okKk

The June episode of our #TERC podcast series "Career Conversations" is out, ft. Dr. @BrianAguado of UC San Diego Bioengineering, where he describes his career trajectory and recent experiences starting his academic lab! open.spotify.com/episode/5N09jn… Columbia BME Columbia Engineering Thomas_Falcucci LatinXinBME

Silk chemistry and biomedical material designs nature.com/articles/s4157… A Review by Jugal, Onur Hasturk, Thomas_Falcucci, and David Kaplan from David Kaplan, Tufts University, Tufts University School of Engineering


Silk is synonymous with luxury, but silk chemistry extends beyond textiles. Our review which discussed advances in silk chemistry and material designs, got highlighted on the cover of the May issue of Nature Reviews Chemistry David Kaplan Tufts University School of Engineering Tufts University Thomas_Falcucci


So happy to have coauthored this side project with my best friend Olivia Foster and one of my first research mentors @sktheodossiou. Thank you to everyone, especially Thomas_Falcucci, for the help along the way. Kicking autofluorescence in the butt! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
