#PRG4 #lubricin AlphaLISA from Revvity for Life Sciences! We developed it with Lubris BioPharma #rhPRG4, showed PRG4 down in Sjogrens tears, now great to have a kit made/optimized by Revvity CustomTeams. LLOQ ~5ng/ml, only 5ul of sample. Great for serum, tears, saliva - and we’ll see what else!

Thanks for coming out to Honest Alan Grodzinsky's Continuum Dinner. We missed our fearless leader this year, but I think we did him proud!

Thomas Manzoni and Elizabeth Davis’ (Kandel lab) new paper with Tannin Schmidt and others not on x: passaged superficial and deep zone cells retain memory. Implications for bioengineering zonified tissues . Such a pleasure to work with everyone on this! udel.edu/0011756

Excited to share I’ve been named a Collins Aerospace Professor in Engineering Innovation in the College of Engineering at #UConn! Grateful to the College of Engineering, and School of Dental Medicine. More motivated than ever to continue to innovate on all things #PRG4 #lubricin.

🚨🚨🚨Milestone Alert🚨🚨🚨 Did you know that Lyndon Jones reached a major milestone at the recent #NCC2024 conference in the Netherlands? Lyndon gave his 1000th CE lecture on the latest developments and the future of dry eye management with Andrew Pucker & Rachel Redfern!

Excited to share a new collaborative study lead by Ali Tamayol’s LIMB Lab in Advance Healthcare Materials: microneedles with dissolvable backing for the programmed delivery of #PRG4/#lubricin to treat wounds. #uconn #uconnhealth onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

I'm hiring! BME PhD position available in Fall of 2024 at UConn Health. Must be a US citizen or permanent resident. See below and please inquire with any questions or interests!

Great time catching up with friends at #ARVO, and presenting a poster on the therapeutic effects of recombinant human #PRG4 #lubricin on the ocular manifestations of GVHD (administered systemically or periocular)! Great preclinical work by lab of Dr. Victor Perez, more to come.

Proud of the #PRG4 #lubricin manufacturing progress made working with Lubris BioPharma & Avid Bioservices the past 2+ years = a 500L GMP run. Eye drop bottles now filled as we push towards the clinic and 2 GRAMS (!) of #rhPRG4 leftover for future preclinical research the next 5+ years.

Excited to share Lubris BioPharma’s full length recombinant human #PRG4 (#rhPRG4) / #lubricin drug product is released for an upcoming #dryeye clinical study in Australia. Packing and labelling is complete, and we’re ready for distribution upon ethics committee approval. Stay tuned!

Huge congratulations to CORE director Lyndon Jones for being recognized by the American Academy Of Optometry with the Carel C. Koch award for his outstanding contributions to the enhancement and development of relationships between optometry and other professions! Congrats Lyndon!
