August 2010, The Defense Advanced Research Project Agency awarded a multidisiplinary team of scientisits at MNIMBS $2M to work on development of controlled extended release of analgesics for battlefield application. The faculty team consists of Principal Investigator, James R. Baker Jr, the Ruth Dow Doan Professor of Internal Medicine and Director of MNIMBS, Abraham F. L. Vanderspek, M.D., associate professor of anesthesiology; Brent Ward, MD, DDS, FACS, assistant professor of oral and maxillofacial surgery and program director of Oncologic Maxillofacial/Head & Neck Surgery; Thommey P. Thomas, Ph.D., research assistant professor, Department of Internal Medicine and MNiIMBS, X Baohua Huang, Ph.D., research investigator in the Department of Internal Medicine and MNIMBS, Seok Ki Choi, Ph.D., research assistant professor, Department of Internal Medicine and MNIMBS; Yuehua Zhang, Ph.D., research assistant professor in the Department of Internal Medicine and MNIMBS.
Monday June 21, 2010, 4-5 PM, Ashutosh Chilkoti, Ph.D., Theo Pilkington Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Center for Biologically Inspired Materials and Materials Systems, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Duke University, will give a Doan lecture: Protein-Polymer Nanoparticles
for Delivery of Therapeutics
May 2010 Douglas Mullen defended his thesis
entitled: Design of Multi-functional Drug Delivery Platforms and earned his Ph.D. in Macromolecular Science and Engineering – The University of Michigan, Ph.D. completed May 2010, conferred August 2010; Advisor – Professor Mark M. Banaszak Holl.
May 2010, Yunbo Guo defended his thesis and earned his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering with a Nanobiology Certificate, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
Thesis: Sensitive, label-free biomolecular binding detection using a one-dimensional photonic crystal sensor. Chair: Professor Theodore B. Norris
Monday March 29, 2010, 4-5 PM, Tarek M. Fahmy, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Biomedical Engineering, Yale University, will give a Doan Lecture: Biomimetic Approaches to Modulating the Immune Response with Biodegradable Polymers
On January, 24, 2010, Yunbo Guo, MNIMBS PhD student, will be awarded the Newport Spectra-Physics Research Excellence Travel Grant at the Moscone Center. The work is based on detection of small molecules which is an inherently difficult application for "label-free" optical sensors. "Success in this area would be a significant advance."
