We had some #visitors in the lab meeting today, #handmade by talented undergrad, Rachel Callaghan! #Biomedical #research #academia #RizwanLab Michigan Tech Michigan Tech Biomedical Engineering MTU Research

Been there, done that, and seen that 😃

Loved my team's Senior Design project this year that seamlessly integrated in our lab; we're already using it to test a new corneal glue! 𝐀 𝐜𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒛𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒔𝒚𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒎 𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍-𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝐈𝐎𝐏 𝒊𝒏 𝒆𝒙-𝒗𝒊𝒗𝒐 𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒂𝐬

In this Trends in Biotechnology review Muhammad Rizwan & colleagues discuss "Emerging granular hydrogel bioinks to improve biological function in bioprinted constructs" #S24MRS hubs.li/Q02tVs1R0

Excited to be attending my first ever #ARVO meeting (The Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology). I thought #BMES was big; well, #ARVO2024 is huge! with over 11K members! #Seattle

Excellent opportunity to work in an exciting lab, and learn from a great scientist and mentor!

This is a really elegant work by John Ngo lab where they develop new types of synNotch receptor/ligand combos, that enable cell differentiation using specific variations in ECM molecules Leonardo Morsut you should see if you haven't already!

Incredibly excited to share that I'm #relocating my lab to #Dallas, and starting as a faculty member today in the BME department (@BME_UTSW) at UT Southwestern Medical Center, with a secondary appointment in UTSW Ophthalmology UT Southwestern Ophthalmology. Can't wait to see what we achieve together!

Looking for #postdoc(s) in the area of #Biomaterials and #Tissue #Engineering to join my group in @BME_UTSW UT Southwestern Medical Center #Dallas. Please share 🙏

Congratulations Cody Tuftee - PhD student in my lab - on securing the 2nd position in UT Southwestern Medical Center 3-Minute Thesis (3MT) competition. Cody is developing a novel bioadhesive for improved #corneal #wound #healing. #ProudPI

Excited to meet friends and colleagues at #BMES in Baltimore. My group will present two talks and a poster in #BMES2024 on very recent work in hydrogel engineering. I'll also be chairing a session on #Cardiovascular #Regeneration on Oct 24 from 8.30 - 10 am. Get in touch!

Excited to be at #bmes2024 this week to talk about our biophotonics research, BME graduate program, and new developments at UTSW! Come by the UT Southwestern Biomedical Engineering booth #426 to meet our some of our graduate students, staff, labs, and faculty - @KareemAzab, Muhammad Rizwan, Daniel Siegwart!

"Human Immune Organoids & Organs-on-Chip" - Excited to share our new work Nature Materials! Congrats to PhD student Monica Zhong for leading this breakthrough work & to all authors!👏🏽Immense thanks to Wellcome Leap & @NIAIDFunding, National Cancer Institute + for support!🙏🏽nature.com/articles/s4156…

Dr. Evelyn Yim (U. Waterloo) and I are organizing a session on the development of #OcularBiomaterials at the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine Society TERMIS-AM 2025 meeting, November 9-12, in Detroit, MI. We look forward to receiving your abstracts!

Hiring SIX Postdoctoral Fellows! We are on a #mission to develop patient-derived #transplantable human #organs, and are hiring multiple postdocs with diverse expertise to join us in this groundbreaking endeavor!

We are excited to share our work on the development of a new type of #hydrogel #biomaterial at #SFB2025 SFBiomaterials 2025 Conference in Chicago!

Our new work in Science Advances shows that nanosilicates promote angiogenesis and scaffold vascularization by activating ROS-mediated WNT/β-catenin signaling. A promising strategy for designing proangiogenic biomaterials in regenerative medicine. science.org/doi/epdf/10.11…

Our latest review is out in Advanced Materials! We explore how nanoengineering enables precise control over biomaterial biological interactions for diverse biomedical applications. Nicholas A. Peppas Akhilesh K Gaharwar advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

An ambitious project is kicking off - to be announced soon. Be part of it! RIZWANLAB.COM #Postdocs #Bioprinting #StemCells #Organoids #TissueEngineering #Biomanufacturing UT Southwestern Medical Center UTSW Science
