We are excited to announce that Hua Wang, Ph.D. from @UofIllinois is our third DSA recipient of 2024! His project is titled 'New-Generation Exosome Vaccines for Treating Glioblastoma.' bit.ly/3ZyrzEq #TheSontagFoundation #DSA2024 #DSAGrantee @WangLabUIUC
Congratulations to CCIL researcher Hua Wang! 👏 His work in #glioblastoma research has earned him a Distinguished Scientist Award from The Sontag Foundation, which will support his efforts to fight against the aggressive brain tumor. 👉 go.illinois.edu/HuaWangGrant
#ILLINOIS researchers earned a $946K American Cancer Society grant to develop a vaccine for solid tumors like triple-negative breast cancer and glioblastoma. “It affirms our critical cancer research,” said Carle Cancer Institute's Hau Wang. ▶️bit.ly/4hc3RFY
Congratulations to my @Rice_BIOE colleague Omid Veiseh @veiseho who is part of the 2024 @AcadofInventors Class of Fellows! Very deserving recognition for one of the most innovative researchers I know! Proud to be a fellow fellow, hope to be there for your induction! 🏅
Congratulations to Assistant Professor Hua Wang, whose critical work to fight back against deadly brain cancer by developing vaccines has earned the Distinguished Scientist Award from The Sontag Foundation. His team earned $750K for research support. matse.illinois.edu/news/72039
Congratulations and welcome to the 100 new members elected today to the National Academy of Medicine! #NAMmtg nam.edu/Classof2024
Congratulations to Assistant Professor Hua Wang, who has earned $946,000 in funding as part of the American Cancer Society Research Scholar Award. Wang's team is innovating in the medical space by developing mRNA-based cancer vaccines for treating solid tumors.
In this special issue, we highlight four areas – mechanically active biomaterials, materials that actively direct the host immune response (immunomaterials), materials designed to promote tissue repair and regeneration, and dynamic materials.
Mendez et al. @ellentroche describe a hybrid hydrogel actuator that can elicit tunable mechanoresponsive release of drug from a hydrogel layer through pneumatic actuation. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…
Roy et al. @ClaudiaLoebel describe a bilayer hydrogel folding system that can generate folding patterns, similar to the mucosal tissue in the epithelium of the upper respiratory airways. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…
For mechanically active materials, Nie et al. from the Rogers Group provide a nice review on using such materials for bio-interfaced sensors for continuous monitoring. @ProfJohnARogers onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…
We are thrilled to share the Special Issue "Engineering Active Materials for Biomedical Applications" in Advanced Materials, guest edited by David Mooney, Patricia Dankers, Ellen Roche, and me @ellentroche @IllinoisMatSE @BIOENGatIL onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…
Lab-grown organs are a big step closer to reality thanks to Wyss & @hseas researchers. Their new co-SWIFT method replicates the double-layered cellular structure of human blood vessels & keeps human heart tissue alive and beating in vitro. @JenniferALewis1 wyss.harvard.edu/news/3d-printe…
