The Srivastava Lab @ Texas Tech

Happy Holidays from the Srivastava Lab 🧫 🐁🎄🎊

The lab celebrated Dr. S’s (@indrajitnano) birthday belatedly this past week! 🥳🎂

Happy to share my lab (@LabSrivastava) has published its second research article, now in @acsnano. @TexasTech @TTUEngineering 3D Tumor-Mimicking Phantom Models for Assessing NIR I/II Nanoparticles in Fluorescence-Guided Surgical Interventions | ACS Nano pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Big congrats to my academic bro @wilsonpoon and @ThePoonLab to have this beautiful work out now in @NanoLetters 🙌🏻🧫🧪👨🏻‍🔬

Made sure that all major lab equipments and our biological + clinical samples are safe (were connected to back up power as we are cautious). Thanks to @TexasTech and COE admins, staff for making the arrangements continue while the normalcy is restored! This was (is) a very wild last 12h post the gas explosions, especially as a #newPI who has invested so much time, money, and energy to setup their new labs. This job is so wild and it hits different week by week. 😭

.@Nature- #Academia isn’t for everyone. To thrive/succeed, be a forward thinker, embrace challenges, balance work/life, & define success on your terms. Set boundaries; create the future w/ "your" big vision. #AcademicChatter #PhDLife #Postdoc #Innovation 👉🏽nature.com/articles/d4158…

Excited to share that my lab (@LabSrivastava) is awarded the American Heart Association (@American_Heart) AIREA grant to develop platelet-like afterglow imaging agents for precise and early detection of atherosclerosis plaques. @AHA_Research @TTUResearch @TTUEngineering @TexasTech

Can we make Acoustic Proteins with different "colors" the way the developers of GFP made BFP, YFP, etc?🌈 Yes, via #directedevolution of #gasvesicles! Congrats to @nivinnystrom et al on the first GVs multiplexed based on nonlinear response to ultrasound. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Labs pumpkin carving session was productive ✅ 🎃🔪

Fantastic poster presentation by @LabSrivastava undergrad, Isabella. Thank you for everyone who stopped by, including Dr. @GirgisObaid from @bme_utd 🙌🏻 @TTUEngineering @BMESociety #BMES2024

Yearly dinner outing of @ThePoonLab & @LabSrivastava at @BMESociety national meetings continues to it’s Y2, this time at @fogodechaobr 🥩🥙 #BMES2024

Fun experience to be the session chair for the ‘AI/ML-guided Biomaterials Design & Synthesis’ session at #BMES2024. @BMESociety 🤖⚙️⚗️🧫

This week the lab travels to @BMESociety Annual Meeting in Baltimore, MD. We have 2 poster presentations by grad. student, Asma and @TTUHonors undergrad, Isabella. Dr. Srivastava will be co-chairing a session on AI/ML-guided Biomaterials Design + Synthesis. #BMES2024 🧫🧪🐷

The lab celebrated 1y this past week. Miles to go and a lot of fun science to do! 🧫🧪🧬 @TTUEngineering

Our recent work on "Near-Infrared Afterglow Luminescence Amplification viaAlbumin Complexation of Semiconducting Polymer Nanoparticles for Surgical Navigation in Ex Vivo Porcine Models" made its way to a Frontispiece Cover in Advanced Functional Materials (@AdvSciNews) We are just getting started with Afterglow bioimaging, don't sleep on us! 🔦🚨 😎 @LabSrivastava @TTUEngineering @TexasTech

Excited that I got to host Dr. Jesse Jokerst (@NANO_UCSD) this week at Mechanical Engineering @TTUEngineering and learn more about his ongoing research in translational photoacoustic imaging 🩻🧫🧪
