Great talks at SFBiomaterials by Ethan Lippmann and Kylie Balotin, PhD ! Ethan shown here speaking with a peek at Kylie writing #WillScienceforDonuts #SFB2022 VU Engineering SFBiomaterials

Thrilled to receive external support on this collaboration with Duvall Lab, spearheaded by Alexander Sorets and @ella_hoog. Our goal is to generate new approaches for siRNA delivery in brain!

Be sure to catch the first session of our 2022 summer series next week on Thursday at 10AM CT Featuring two excellent talks by @klarz07 and Bethany Gardner !

This. I owe all success to the trainees that put up with the wild (and sometimes dumb) ideas when we were just starting. Can’t thank Sir von Hammock III enough for getting me through the tenure process.

Yajuan Shi , chemical and biomolecular engineering, will present her dissertation defense "High Throughput Investigation of Human Blood-Brain Barrier Transport Regulation" this afternoon under the direction of Professor Ethan Lippmann. Good luck Yajuan Shi! Ethan Lippmann

Johns Hopkins Medicine Johns Hopkins BME Chan Zuckerberg Initiative CZI Science Hopkins Neuroscience Jeremias Sulam In neurodegeneration research, Johns Hopkins BME’s SpanglerLab is working with Ethan Lippmann to develop an #immunotherapy that uses immune-stimulating proteins called cytokines to target amyloid beta proteins that cause #Alzheimers.

Special thanks to Matthew Schrag and SchragLab for the generous use of donor tissue that has been essential for our research program and ongoing collaborations

Check out my latest ⁦ZEISS Microscopy⁩ LSM710 confocal image of a SERPINA3 positive astrocyte wrapped around a blood vessel in human postmortem cortical tissue with Alzheimer’s Disease for #FluorescenceFriday with ⁦Ethan Lippmann⁩ and ⁦Matthew Schrag⁩ Labs!

Previously published work from the lab led by Hyou-sung Kim highlighting the relationship between astrocytic SERPINA3 and blood-brain barrier properties can be read about here! nature.com/articles/s4146…

I’m really excited about this work, building on the amazing prior studies spearheaded by Hyou-sung Kim…stay tuned for updates!
