Celebrating #BlackHistoryMonth w/ Ph.D. student Kevin R. Smith in the Jamal S. Lewis lab. His groundbreaking research involves optimizing a regulatory vaccine to combat autoimmune diseases, aiming to alleviate the burden on patients facing systemic immunosuppression. Kevin Smith

Delighted to share that our work on vomocytosis will continue thanks to the splendid support of this @NIGMS Established Investigator MIRA.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to share some of the work from my thesis at the Annual Biomaterials Day Symposium and took home the award for ‘Best Oral Presentation’ for my session. Special thanks to Society for Biomaterials at UF for the opportunity and the UF swag!

Dr. Jamal Lewis receives $2M NIH NIGMS grant to study Cryptococcal Vomocytosis, uncovering how Cryptococcus neoformans evades immune cells. His multidisciplinary approach could revolutionize treatment for immune & neurological conditions. Jamal S. Lewis ➡️bme.ufl.edu/lewis-awarded-…

Congratulations to Dr. Benjamin Keselowsky who was elected a Fellow of Biomaterials Science and Engineering (FBSE) by the IUSBSE, the highest honor the global biomaterials community can bestow on outstanding scientists. Benjamin Keselowsky #WBC2024

All NIH funded and relevant researchers NEED to study this NIH restructuring proposal from the US #Congress. Huge implications! Comment period is critical to provide input. I will. E.g., NIBIB goes away or folded into others - but IMHO too many overlaps.

Very proud of my undergrad Daniel Osorio who’s finishing up his REU at my alma mater Georgia Tech in the The Botchwey Laboratory ! Also, lookout for his work in the Jamal S. Lewis lab at the upcoming Biomedical Engineering Society conference where he screened small molecules for tolerogenic dendritic cells

Excited to welcome Dr. Herbert 'Herbie' Wertheim today, showcasing the transformative research happening in Drs. Kyle Allen & Jamal Lewis' labs. His visionary support fuels our quest for breakthroughs, inspiring the next generation of biomedical engineers! #GatorEngineers

Drug Delivery Technologies for Autoimmunity Therapies - Read the new Special Issue published in Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, edited by Dr. Michael Mitchell, Dr. Jessica Weaver & Dr. Ryan Pearson! spkl.io/6016f6ih0

It was a pleasure to speak at #NanoDDS about our work on mRNA LNPs and hypoxia! Thank you for the invitation to present our research Dr. MEI HE Fan Zhang (張帆) Jamal S. Lewis and Carlos Rinaldi-Ramos, and thanks to all organizers for such a great conference!!

Highlighting the invited speakers for the Nano and Micro Technologies Track, presenting this week in Room 316 Biomedical Engineering Society #BMES2024, along with many exciting contributed talks! Daniel Wang, Theresa Raimondo, Jamal S. Lewis, Yue Liu, Slater Lab

Congratulations to Dr. Christine Schmidt, Distinguished Professor & J. Crayton Pruitt Family Endowed Chair, on being elected to National Academy of Medicine – one of the highest honors bestowed upon scientists worldwide! Christine E. Schmidt news.ufl.edu/2024/10/nation…

I’m very excited to be attending the 2024 Biomedical Engineering Society Meeting! If you’re in town, stop by my poster for a spell… much like C. neoformans I’m a “fun-guy” 😁!

Very excited to see this work hit the presses today! Excellent work by graduate student Kenneth Hulugalla in ACS Nano. He finds that glycopolymers adsorb less immunogenic proteins than PEG, leading to reduced clearance and better tumor delivery. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Truly honored to receive the Inaugural A. Oveta Fuller Award. She was a The Fulbright Program trailblazer in virology and immunology with local and global impact. Thankful to Dept of Microbiology & Immunology @ the Univ of MI for the opportunity to share my journey in HIV research! UF Engineering UF BME U-M Medical School Research

FLORIDA Wolf Greenfield Thomas|Horstemeyer Alston & Bird 🌟 @ufwertheim & @ufbme’s Dr. Lewis received an #InventionoftheYear at #StandingInnOvation2024! His research focuses on utilizing the natural properties of Cryptococcus to cross the blood-brain barrier & deliver therapeutics directly to the brain. #IamaUFInnovator

I am very proud to have been awarded the UF Innovate | Tech Licensing “Invention of the Year” Award alongside Jamal S. Lewis! We are very excited by our microbe-based drug delivery platform that could revolutionize the treatment of neurological disorders! 💡Stay tuned!

.UF BME's Dr. Jamal Lewis & his team won an #InventionoftheYear2024 award! 🏆With Clinton Smith, they’ve created a way to deliver drugs to the brain using a fungus. This innovation could transform treatment for brain disorders. #StandingInnOvation2024 youtu.be/hpZ_r2oWsQk

This is a list of blockbuster drugs in 2024. Guess how many can trace their origins to NIH funded research? All of them.
