What good is an empty backpack? Turns out, they can treat cancer. Researchers at the Wyss and Harvard SEAS discovered that attaching empty polymer microparticles to neutrophils activates the immune cells against skin and breast cancer.

Great meeting with Samir Mitragotri during his visit to UT Dallas Bioengineering_UTDallas

We discussed a range of topics including his productive social media posts, all done during downtimes while traveling!

Thank you Samir Mitragotri for visiting us and delivering the amazing and inspiring talk on hitchhiking and backpacks in our Distinguished Seminar Series Bioengineering_UTDallas. Always enjoyed chatting with him about research, career and life.

Great talk today at Bioengineering_UTDallas by Samir Mitragotri on #drugdelivery and immune cell backpacks #macrophage #neutrophil 🧫🎒 Wyss Institute 'What happens in academia, shouldn't stay in academia.' #translational #research BMES at UTSW

Neutrophils are the most plentiful white blood cell in the body, but the least studied. Wyss & Harvard SEAS researchers have now turned them into an anti-cancer therapy by attaching empty 'backpacks' to them, which activated them against tumors in mice. #Cancer

If immune cells had personalities…

It’s March 1st! Our backpacks for treating multiple sclerosis are in the running in #STATMadness (matchup #7). Vote to help us advance to the next round!

Vaishali Mashelkar is an amazing artist. I had the opportunity to see her paintings in person. If you are in Pune, don’t miss this opportunity to experience these paintings!

An inspiring talk by Samir Mitragotri who took us backpacking at the Moffitt Cancer Center.

If you could put a backpack on your favorite immune cell what would you place inside?

Samir Mitragotri has designed backpacks for a variety of immune cells.

It is as cool as it sounds!
