When my reviewer comments said that I don’t have a good track record of mentoring students.

The Cancer Nanotechnology Gordon Research Conference is just a few months away! Applications for the trainee-focused GRS are due by March 9 to be considered for an oral presentation. Hope to see you in Italy! grc.org/cancer-nanotec…

New publication! Molli Garifo developed a copolymer hydrogel that is injectable, has an LCST above room temperature, and matches the stiffness of brain tissue more adequately than current, stiff brain implants! Check it out! doi.org/10.1016/j.matl… Clemson ChBE

People are always negative when you set new boundaries, but just a reminder that you can change your priorities! You deserve to have the life YOU want. You've worked hard for it!!

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

NIH funding directly translates into jobs, new medicines and economic growth. Spread the word! Modify this graphic for your lab: drive.google.com/file/d/17h_tgj…

New preprint with Dr. Jeff Twiss at UofSC Biological Sciences Kayleigh Trumbull made RVG tagged polymersomes to deliver siRNA to help confirm the role of Prenyl-Cdc42 mRNA in axon regeneration, which is a small piece of this great paper! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Funding from the NIH contributed to the development of 354 out of 356 (99.4%) of the new drugs approved by the FDA between 2010 and 2019, and 🚨 100% 🚨 of FDA approved drugs btw 2010-2016. NIH funding is the backbone of American biomedical innovation. #protecttheNIH

Nearly 100 NIH study sections were canceled in the past month. Here is a list of the canceled meetings, compiled by Annika Barber at Rutgers Univ. As a result, the process of biomedical science funding has been halted in the United States. tinyurl.com/5auw74s4

Congratulations to Larsen Lab PhD Candidate, Noah Arnold, for winning the Best Graduate Student Poster Award at the Gordon Research Conference for Lysosomal Diseases! His work to deliver enzymes across the BBB via nanoparticles could help treat patients with fatal disorders!

In an unprecedented move, the US National Institutes of Health has begun mass terminations of research grants that fund active scientific projects because they no longer meet “agency priorities”. go.nature.com/4i2EaIb

Happy to share our latest manuscript in Bioconjugate Chemistry entitled “Targeted Polymersomes Enable Enhanced Delivery to Peripheral Nerve Post-Injury” Congratulations to all authors and thank you to Creative Inquiry for support! Link here: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

🚨 New publication!🚨 We explored how chaotropic salts shape protein coronas on polymersomes. Divalent salts, esp. calcium, had the biggest impact—forming hard coronas rich in calcium-binding proteins. Exciting implications for #polymer #nanomedicine doi.org/10.1016/j.jcis…

The United States is at substantial risk of loosing their leadership position in biomedical research, which will have severe negative consequences both for human health and the US economy. If you share this concern, please see below for how to take action before it is too late.
