Check out our latest publication - Differential Sensitivity to Interepitope Spacing in Mast Cells and B Cells Enables Design of Hypoallergenic Allergen Vaccine Immunogens | ACS Nano pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… Congrats to Ben Cossette and co-authors!

🔥New Collier Lab publication🔥 We employed supramolecular peptide nanofibers to interfere with C3a and C5a activity in vivo and better understand the role of both anaphylatoxins in LPS-induced sepsis. Congrats @HFreireHaddad and co-authors! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Don’t miss our lab members’ presentations at #BMES2024 and the @LatinXinBME symposium this week!

Congratulations to Ben Cossette for defending his thesis today, titled “Engineering Hypoallergenic Allergen Vaccine Immunogens Based on Self-Assembling Supramolecular Peptide Nanofibers”. Good luck on your next adventures, we will miss you! 🥜👨🏻‍🔬

Congratulations to Joel Collier @DukeU on receiving the prestigious Clemson Award for Basic Research from @SFBiomaterials for his seminal contributions to biomaterials field! The award was presented @ SFB Southeast Symposium held @ibbgatech along w/ a live streamed plenary talk!

Excited to have been present in an outstanding presentation by @Collier_Joel today during his SFB Clemson Award Talk for Basic Science. Amazing work! Congratulations Joel! 🎉 Excited to be your colleague @DukeUBME @DukeEngineering

New Collier lab publication! We utilized supramolecular peptide materials in an anti-cytokine active immunotherapy to target IL-1B mediated inflammation. Congrats Shamitha Shetty and co-authors! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

Don’t miss our students’ presentations this week in Daegu at #WBC2024 !

Our lab members attended @DukeUBME department retreat early this week. We won best group video for the rapid fire talks! 🏖️🔬

🔥New publication in @ACSBiomaterials: Supramolecular Peptide Self-Assemblies Facilitate Oral Immunization Congrats to @ECurvino and co-authors @miawoodruff1 Emily Roe @HFreireHaddad @PabloCorderoA doi.org/10.1021/acsbio…

Huge congratulations to @LabCollier superstar undergrad @miawoodruff1 ! Mia was awarded with the NSF GRFP and will be joining @WilsonLabVU at @VanderbiltU in the Fall. We are so proud!

New publication alert! We developed a complement C5a-targetting active immunotherapy with applications in models of sepsis and arthritis. Congrats Kelly Hainline and co-authors @HFreireHaddad Anna Gilpin @ECurvino @shynivarghese sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Check out our new publication in ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering. Congrats to first author Ben Cossette and all coauthors! 👨‍🔬💉 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Congratulations to two of our favorite @DukeUBME friends, @seguralab for the Clemson award for contribution to the literature and @LabCollier for the Clemson award for basic research. So fortunate to have such incredible colleagues!!!

Congrats to our @SFBImmuneEng @SFBiomaterials awardees Tanvi Pathrikar @BajpayeeLab, @HFreireHaddad @LabCollier, and Rebeca Stiepel @AinslieLab! Amazing Webinar talks yesterday! (also to Sehwan Jeong who could not make it). Thanks also to our SFB/IE community for your support!

🚨New @LabCollier paper🚨 We took advantage of natural antibodies against phosphorylcholine to design a supramolecular peptide nanofiber active immunotherapy for IBD. 🎉Congrats @ECurvino and co-authors! @seguralab @HFreireHaddad @miawoodruff1 @aalexaandersonn

New Project is up in our website! A few months ago @PabloCorderoA passed his prelim exam and became a PhD candidate. In my lab, when students complete this major milestone, we celebrate their success and add their project to our lab website with a unique logo.

Make sure to check out Helena’s presentation on her award-winning poster from SFB Immune Engineering SIG on Dec 6th at 12:00 pm! bit.ly/3Fy3luU

If you’re at BMES this week, check out some of the work from our group on Thursday and Friday. See you in Seattle!

An eventful week in our lab - Deleah completed her preliminary exam today and passed with flying colors! Congrats!
