At #UWBioE, we are thrilled to welcome 2025! We look forward to another year of collaboration, excellence and innovation alongside our incredible community. Cheers ✨

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Washington (#OLLIUW), @UWBioE & the Dana Foundation have joined forces to create the Brain Health Learning Network (BHLN) which launched a series of lectures for older adults about #brain health. ms.spr.ly/6019oV2FV

Wishing everyone a happy holiday season from all of us at #UWBioE.

REverse transcriptase ACTivity assay for point-of-care measurement of antiretrovirals for #HIV treatment and prevention by Ayokunle O. Olanrewaju et al @AyokunleOlan @UWBioE @UW @uwnews @ME_at_UW @NPanpradist @LutzLabUW #bioassays #drug #monitoring #virus link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Great to see this recognized! I am grateful every day to work in the fantastic environment for translational inter-disciplinary research nurtured by @UW! washington.edu/news/2024/11/2… @UWBioE @UWCardiology @ITHS_UW @UW_CTMR @UWISCRM

Aging impacts heart health, in part due to mitochondrial damage. 🧬 @UWBioE's Michael Regnier & David Marcinek are studying how urolithin A, a natural gut compound, could help reverse this damage. Early data shows it could improve heart function: bit.ly/4gj8ooK

More than 30 scientists who conducted research @UWMedicine or @fredhutch are on @Clarivate #HighlyCited2024 list. @UWbiochemistry @genomesciences @UWproteindesign @UWDeptMedicine @UW_Immunology @IHME_UW @uwdgh @UWBioE @UWPsychiatry @brotmanbaty tinyurl.com/mpkdft6v

Two #UW professors including #UWRadiology professor David Marcinek and @MichaelRegnier9 of @UWBioE, are collaborating to study mitochondrial damage in the heart and treatment with the natural supplement urolithin A (UA.) Learn more: bioe.uw.edu/promising-rese… #UWMedicine

🤩 Congratulations to Drs. @MichaelRegnier9 (@UWBioE) and David Marcinek (@UWRadiology) who have received a $3.24 million grant from @NIHAging! Together, they will study mitochondrial damage in the heart and treatment with the supplement urolithin A: bit.ly/48QICWk

On this Veterans Day, we honor all those who served & continue to make an impact. @UWChemE’s Kristin Bennett, a Navy veteran, applies firsthand experience with traumatic brain injuries to the lab, aiming to improve lives through science. washington.edu/uaa/navy-to-ne… #HuskyExperience

The Humanity Unlocking Biomaterials center, led by #UWBioE's @kellystevenslab & @UMichChE's @Lola_UMich, will promote new biomaterials solutions by bringing together researchers & providing seed funding. The center is funded by a $10.5 million @NIH grant. bit.ly/kshub2024

🎧 Dr. Johannes Johnson-Martínez (@jamespjohnsonuw) from @UWBioE and @isbsci is on this week's Causes or Cures Podcast! 💩 Tune in to hear about his research on how bowel movements can impact the #GutMicrobiome, blood, and organ health: apple.co/3CgF7fM #SciencePodcast
