Learn about lungs with UMD Bioengineering’s Duncan lab

In a new article out now in RSC Pharmaceutics, led by Harry Zou and Allison Boboltz, we describe our newly developed method to quickly screen formulations for mucosal drug delivery. Hope others will find this useful, let us know if interested! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Congrats to Taj Yeruva and Lala who recently completed the NSF I-Corps program to assess the commercial potential of a sprayable in situ-forming hydrogel technology under development in our lab.

Thank you Maryland Engineering for this recognition, its been great working with many talented and engaged UMD Bioengineering students over the years.

Bloomberg Philanthropies gives $1B to Johns Hopkins University. This gift makes the School of Medicine tuition-free for students from families earning under $300,000, and students from families earning up to $175,000 will receive a full ride, including living expenses.

Congrats to Taj Yeruva from our lab on being named a REFI Young Investigator Fellow! We are very fortunate to have this support from Fischell Institute for Biomedical Devices to integrate biomaterials, microfluidics, and biosensors for the real-time detection of airborne pathogens.

It's National Postdoc Appreciation Week! Thank you for all you do! To celebrate this week, we're highlighting a few postdoc members on the BPS blog! Read about Logan Kaler, postdoctoral fellow working at the United States Naval Research Laboratory. ow.ly/YzY750TpYgs

This past weekend, we celebrated recent lab alum Dr. Sydney Yang with her family, friends, and longtime mentor The Chow Lab! I look forward to seeing everything you accomplish as a postdoc with Danielle Benoit!
