Congrats to my wonderful postdoc adviser Chad A. Mirkin! We will have lots to celebrate at the reunion International Institute for Nanotechnology in July!

I am delighted to speak at the The Chinese University of Hong Kong - CUHK symposium in neuromusculoskeletal regeneration. Nice to connect with Prof. Wise Young Rutgers University and Prof. Christian Göritz Karolinska Institutet. Looking forward to future collaboration.

Walking down the memory lane. First time back to Evanston since serving as a Croucher Foundation postdoc Mirkin Group in 2011-13. Entering Northwestern campus, I asked myself how much I grew and managed to achieve The Chinese University of Hong Kong - CUHK over the years. Nice to have lunch with Liang Hao!

Happy bday Chad A. Mirkin! Wish you health and happiness! Day 1: Preparty. Lotsa fun and karaoke. Chad asked for my 🎻; I should have brought it from Hong Kong. Nice to reconnect with Milan Mrksich and Mirkin Group alumni Guoliang (Greg) Liu Xiaodong Chen Louise Giam etc...

Day 2, Mirkunite33 (Part 1): I learned from seniors: brain delivery of SNAs Alexander H Stegh, engaging Controlled Release Society as an int'l scholar (Alexander Kabanov flew from Bologna #CRS2024 to Chicago!), women in STEM Natalie Artzi. Got a private tour of Gianneschi lab Northwestern Chemistry; thanks Nathan!

Thanks a lot, Prof. Hai-Quan Mao Johns Hopkins MatSci Johns Hopkins BME Biomaterials , for visiting and giving a seminar in our CUHK BME department. The Chinese University of Hong Kong - CUHK President Rocky Tuan was in attendance. We are indebted to his kind advice and encouragement. Stay in touch!

I am now officially a full professor, the first ever promoted from assisant to assoc to full CUHK BME. I thank the mentorship of my senior colleagues, support from my department, and dedication of my group since 2013. Look forward to more exciting discoveries.

Prof. Song Li UCLA gave an excellent department seminar on CAR-T therapy and #mechanomedicine CUHK BME today. Thanks a lot for visiting us!

Day 0: Banquet BMEMat - Adv. Mater. Symposium coorganized by CUHK BME chaired by Chuanbin Mao_phage_group. Prof Nicholas A. Peppas, lifetime achievement awardee 👏 🍾, requested the #ButterflyLovers Violin Concerto be performed, and I had the immense honor of doing so. 😃 ❤️

Days 1, 2: BMEMat-Adv Mater symposium CUHK BME. Nice to reconnect with and present my team to The Leong Lab Samir Mitragotri. I had fun chats Pep Pàmies Diego Mantovani (en Español 😃). At a fabulous Bali dinner hosted by Chuanbin Mao_phage_group, I heard more fun stories from Nicholas A. Peppas

Day 3: BMEMat-Adv Mater symposium cohosted by my department CUHK BME Chuanbin Mao_phage_group. More cool talks by Tejal A. Desai, Maryam Tabrizian McGill University. more fun chats with Pep Pàmies Nature Biomedical Engineering and Duoduo Liang Wiley. Our meeting ends with a bang! 😊

New paper alert🔥! DNA/RNA nanostructures are exciting drug carriers. Reese and Zhihui reviewed how they interact with cells in vivo! Thanks Chuanbin Mao_phage_group for editing this special issue for the 60th birthday of The Chinese University of Hong Kong - CUHK in Advanced Materials. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

What an immense honor from the Hong Kong Academy of Engineering! I am truly humbled. My heartfelt thanks go to my seniors for the kind mentorship and my team for their amazing dedication over the years!

Meet my PhD student Aiana 😀
