We are grateful to DMR Biomaterials for this recognition. This award will support Alyson in developing experimental and computational tools that advance our fundamental understanding of polymer-mediated ribonucleoprotein delivery. The NSF Faculty Early Career award supports “early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education and to lead […]
Alyson Camacho (1st year PhD student, Chemical and Biological Engineering) joins the lab after an outstanding performance in her PhD qualifiers. Alyson did her undergraduate work at Brigham Young University, where she performed research in Prof. William Pitt’s lab. She will be designing experimental workflows and computational pipelines for machine-guided polymer discovery for genome editor […]
Jordan won first prize for her poster “Synthesis and Characterization of a Statistical Terpolymer Library for Synthetic Gene Delivery Systems” summarizing her work as a SURF scholar over the summer with Jessica Lawson. Around 60 undergraduates participated in this competition. Congratulations, Jordan!
Ram was selected to present a poster based on his RSC Applied Polymers paper at the Gordon Research Conference (Drug Carrier Design for Cell and Tissue Specific Delivery) in Portland, Maine. Ram was awarded a Postdoctoral/Research Associate Travel Grant from Mines to attend this conference. Congratulations, Ram!
The Achievement Rewards for College Scientists Foundation “provides financial awards to academically outstanding students who are US citizens studying to complete degrees in science, engineering, math, technology, and medical research.” Congratulations to Caitlyn for being selected as an ARCS scholar and for joining “an impressive, influential and growing community”.
Jessica delivered a talk on her recent work. Adam presented a poster.Congratulations to both of them on their first national conference presentations!
