SUMMARY:ChE PhD Dissertation Defense: Justin Hayes
DESCRIPTION:Name:\nJustin Hayes \nTitle:\nLeveraging Synthetic Biology and Gut-on-chip Systems to Interrogate and Modulate Intestinal H₂S \nDate:\n03/11/2026 \nTime:\n11:00:00 AM \nCommittee Members:\nProf. Benjamin Woolston (Advisor)\nProf. Ryan Koppes (Advisor)\nProf. Abigail Koppes\nPhilip Strandwitz \nLocation:\nCabral Center \nAbstract: \nHydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a gaseous and reactive molecule fundamental to human biology. The gut microbiota is a major producer of sulfide\, yet our understanding of how it impacts intestinal diseases is poorly understood. Many studies are contradicting\, some suggesting it drives diseases like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colorectal cancer\, while others suggest it has anti-inflammatory properties and can promote wound healing. Emerging research suggests its role in health is concentration dependent. Contributing to this confusion is the difficulty in controlling sulfide concentration in vitro and in vivo due to its gaseous and reactive nature. Thus\, studying the molecule has been a bottleneck in understanding its fundamental role in human health and translating these findings as treatments. The goal of this thesis is to use engineered bacteria as systems for controlling sulfide concentration in intestinal environments. Metabolic engineering of bacteria offers a method for continuous and tunable production and degradation of sulfide in intestinal environments. These engineered bacteria hold promise as tools for investigating its dose-dependent roles in human health and for therapeutic uses. \nWithin the thesis\, a panel of engineered bacteria was developed to titrate the level of H2S across the putative gut physiological concentration range. To do so\, sulfur metabolism of Escherichia coli (E. coli) was engineered via gene knockouts\, overexpression of putative L-cysteine desulfidases and transporters\, and use of different strength promoters to drive gene expression. In an in vitro setting\, these strains titrated H2S across a 53-fold range\, spanning the putative gut concentration range. The work also contributed to the general knowledge of E. coli sulfide biology and the role of these desulfidases and transporters in its production. \nThese strains were used in human gut-on-chip systems to explore the concentration dependent impacts of H2S on human gut epithelial cell biology. The engineered bacteria titrated sulfide across a 16-fold range on chip\, and the effects on gut permeability\, metabolism\, and gene expression were investigated. The data show the engineered bacteria are superior to sodium sulfide at maintaining specific H2S levels on chip\, critical for studying the impacts on epithelial biology. Increasing sulfide levels significantly elevated gene expression associated with DNA damage and an increase in thiosulfate levels\, and a non-significant trend towards higher gut permeability. Broadly\, the platform represents a new method to investigate the fundamental role of volatile and reactive molecules on the gut environment. \nBeyond in vitro studies\, the thesis aimed to develop strains for functionality in vivo\, which would enable exploring the impacts of sulfide in animals. The intestinal tract is a complex organ\, with strong longitudinal differences in pH\, metabolic environment\, oxygen tension\, microbiota abundance\, secreted host factors\, and more. Considering these variables in engineered strain design is critical. For design inspiration\, human fecal microbiota communities were used to probe how the human gut microbiota degrade and produce sulfide. E. coli was engineered to produce and consume H2S under several complex in vitro environments\, including in the presence of human fecal microbiota\, under different oxygen tensions\, and diverse nutrient environments. \nThe strains that successfully modified H2S in these in vitro screens were tested in vivo to demonstrate proof-of-concept data. The H2S-producing engineered bacteria successfully delivered and elevated H2S in the mouse upper gut. The engineered strain was superior to the gold-standard sulfide delivery molecule\, GYY4137\, at elevating intestinal levels. This highlights the value of this microbe as a tool for probing H2S hypotheses and as a translational tool for precise H2S delivery. The H2S-consuming strains were also tested in vivo but failed to demonstrate significant reductions in sulfide levels. Testing in ex vivo small intestinal extracts demonstrated significant sulfide reduction by the microbe\, underscoring the challenges of creating in vivo models for H2S elevation and degradation. \nOverall\, the thesis represents several contributions to scientific knowledge and the development of new research tools. These include a deeper understanding of E. coli sulfur metabolism and the development of microbial tools as novel H2S delivery vehicles. Further\, this thesis developed a gut-chip workflow for probing how gaseous molecules impact the gut\, generated insights into human gut microbiota sulfide metabolism\, and a general framework for designing and evaluating engineered bacteria destined for in vivo use. \n\nAfter receiving a BS in chemical engineering and BA in Spanish from the University of Rhode Island\, Justin Hayes\, PhD’26\, chemical engineering\, began his PhD program at Northeastern in 2020 and is supported by a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. He is advised by Ryan Koppes\, associate professor of chemical engineering\, and Benjamin Woolston\, assistant professor of chemical engineering. Hayes’ research focuses on understanding how gut microbial metabolism impacts human health. Insights from his research are being leveraged to develop probiotic therapeutics and medical foods for individuals suffering from gastrointestinal disease.

SUMMARY:ChE PhD Dissertation Defense: Bryan Schellberg
DESCRIPTION:Name:\nBryan Schellberg \nTitle:\nA Robust\, Scalable\, and User-Friendly Organ-Chip Platform for Automated\, Spatiotemporal Characterization of Living Cell Culture Conditions \nDate:\n03/16/2026 \nTime:\n12:00:00 PM \nCommittee Members:\nProf. Abigail Koppes (Advisor)\nProf. Ryan Koppes (Advisor)\nProf. Allison Dennis\nProf. Samuel Chung \nLocation:\nHastings 113 \nAbstract:\nOrgan-chips\, or microphysiological devices (MPSs) are an emergent technology that bridges the gap between current in vitro and in vivo models used in biomedical research. To address the technological gaps associated with current options\, MPS models have been engineered to integrate three-dimensional tissue architectures in vitro to recapitulate organ-specific function. These systems offer improved bio-relevance and controlled complexity via integration induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines\, physical and chemical stimulation\, and biomimetic extracellular matrices. Although significant advancements have been made toward recreating organ-specific physiology on-chip\, the methods available to study the structure and function of the cell microenvironment are still limited. This work developed\, validated\, and applied a technology platform for characterizing the state of the cellular microenvironment on chip. \nA fiber-optic-based sensing platform was engineered and validated to non­invasively sense luminescence from MPS devices. The optical setup delivered excitation light via fiber-coupled LEDs and recorded luminophore emission to a monochrome camera. Linking a microcontroller enabled automated image capture for remote data acquisition and characterization of the on-chip cellular microenvironment. Addition of multi-fiber bundles permitted spatiotemporal data acquisition for whole-chip monitoring. This fiber-optic-based sensing platform provides a starting point for significant improvements to real-time interrogation of on-chip structure and function. \nWe applied our sensing platform to a previously validated MPS model of intestinal barrier function to confirm efficacy and reliability. Caco-2 epithelial cells were cultured in our established MPS and subjected to a cocktail of pro-inflammatory cytokines to disrupt barrier function. MPSs dosed with the cytokines showed significantly decreased barrier function\, as monitored by our fiber optic sensing platform. \nIntegration of MPS sensing with automation tools is essential to bridge the academic-industrial gap for broad use of these devices. Here\, we coupled our fiber­optic-based sensing system with a fluid handling robot and motorized programmable microscope stage. With these tools\, we demonstrated automated culture and monitoring of iPSC-derived cardiomyocyte beat rate\, providing a blueprint for high-throughput MPS sensing. \nIn summary\, this thesis outlines tools and techniques that may be used to design\, build\, validate\, and apply optical sensing approaches for rich\, real-time\, and high­throughput data acquisition from MPS devices. \n\nBryan Schellberg is a 5th year PhD Candidate in Chemical Engineering at Northeastern University. He will graduate in March 2026 with his thesis defense titled “A Robust\, Scalable\, and User-Friendly Organ-Chip Platform for Automated\, Spatiotemporal Characterization of Living Cell Culture Conditions.” Bryan’s work focuses on the intersection of biology and technology to build improved sensing approaches for applications in human pathophysiology and novel drug development. Throughout his time at Northeastern\, Bryan has engineered\, validated\, and applied a fiber-optic-based sensing platform for real-time\, high-throughput data collection from organ-on-a-chip systems. As a result from this work\, he has submitted a patent application for the technology developed\, two first-author publications\, and submitted an additional co-first author manuscript for review. In the short-term\, Bryan looks forward to applying his expertise to the private sector to aid in the development of disruptive technologies to overhaul the current drug discovery pipeline.

SUMMARY:ChE PhD Dissertation Defense: Alexandra Nukovic
DESCRIPTION:Name:\nAlexandra Nukovic \nTitle:\nOptimizing the Immunogenicity of an Oxygen-Generating Cryogel Vaccine Platform Against Prostate Cancer \nDate:\n03/17/2026 \nTime:\n10:00:00 AM \nCommittee Members:\nProf. Stephen Hatfield (Advisor)\nProf. Sidi Bencherif\nProf. Kara Spiller\nProf. Rebecca Carrier\nProf. Allison Dennis \nLocation:\nHastings 209 \nAbstract:\nTherapeutic cancer vaccines have been a promising avenue of research to boost patients’ own immune system to fight cancer\, targeting tumor eradication and inducing long-term immunological memory. However\, promising vaccine candidates have had limited success in clinical trials due to immunosuppressive mechanisms and insufficient delivery methods to overcome tolerance to tumor antigens.  Cryogel delivery scaffolds have already been established as a promising delivery vehicle for cancer vaccines\, due to their biocompatibility and macroporous nature\, which allow effective delivery to infiltrating cells; however\, cryogel-based vaccines are limited by rapid\, diffusion-mediated burst release of encapsulated recombinant proteins and local immunosuppressive hypoxia within the scaffold. Herein\, biochemical strategies are explored to improve hyaluronic acid-glycidyl methacrylate (HAGM) cryogels as effective delivery vehicles for a therapeutic prostate cancer vaccine. \nFirst\, the degradation of cryogels via polymer oxidation was investigated as a potential strategy to control in vivo degradation and cargo delivery. Degradation of HAGM is hindered by the slow hydrolysis of the polymer after free-radical polymerization\, yielding dense polymer networks that endow cryogels with mechanical robustness. Ideally\, the degradation and resorption of HAGM cryogels should align with the timing of their application. Oxidation of the polymer facilitates degradation through alkaline hydrolysis. This work emphasizes the complexities involved in modeling degradation kinetics\, demonstrates that polymer degradation enhances the in vivo delivery of the model antigen ovalbumin\, and highlights the potential of cryogels as biocompatible\, degradable\, and injectable scaffolds for biomedical uses\, reducing long-term side effects and removing the need for surgical removal. \nNext\, a cryogel-based vaccine platform was explored to improve immunological memory to an anti-cancer vaccine for prostate cancer. Click conjugation of a tumor-associated protein within the cryogel improved antigen delivery\, supporting strong cellular memory responses. Meanwhile\, the inclusion of oxygen generation within the cryogel serves as a powerful co-adjuvant to boost humoral immunity. Cryogel-based vaccination elicited a robust anti-cancer response\, inhibiting tumor growth. Together\, these biochemical strategies prove to be key improvements that could help tailor cryogel-based delivery of immunological agents to improve patient responses \n\nAlexandra (Alex) Nukovic is currently a PhD candidate in her 5th year of study in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Northeastern University. She has previously graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Bioengineering from Clemson University. Alex has been a member of the Biomedical Engineering Society\, the Society of Biomaterials\, and the American Association for Cancer Research. She is currently a member of the Association for Women in Science.

SUMMARY:Imaging Emergent Quantum States at the Atomic Scale
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Ilija Zeljkovic\, Boston College \nHosts: Prof. Arun Bansil & Prof. Kin Chung Fong \nAbstract \nUnderstanding how collective electronic states emerge in quantum materials is a central challenge in condensed matter physics. Scanning tunneling microscopy provides a powerful way to probe these systems by imaging electronic structure directly at the atomic scale. In this talk\, I will discuss how atomic-scale imaging has enabled the discovery of unexpected electronic phenomena in quantum materials\, focusing in particular on kagome metals. Our measurements reveal a cascade of symmetry-broken states\, including novel charge density waves and nematic order alongside superconductivity\, illustrating how local probes can reveal broken symmetries often hidden to conventional bulk techniques. I will also outline future directions in which scanning probe microscopy is combined with quantum sensing and machine-learning-assisted analysis to accelerate the discovery and control of emergent quantum phenomena. These approaches open new opportunities for interdisciplinary research linking quantum materials\, nanoscale devices\, and data-driven experimentation.\nAbout the Speaker \nIlija Zeljkovic is a Professor of Physics at Boston College. He received his Ph.D. in Physics from Harvard University in 2013\, where he built a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope to study the interplay of structural\, chemical\, and electronic properties of high-temperature superconductors. His research focuses on the synthesis and atomic-scale characterization of quantum materials using molecular beam epitaxy and advanced scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy techniques\, with the goal of uncovering and controlling novel electronic phases. Zeljkovic is the recipient of the DARPA Young Faculty Award (2017)\, NSF CAREER Award (2017)\, ARO Young Investigator Award (2017)\, DOE Early Career Award (2019)\, the Marko Jaric Award (2023)\, and is a Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation Experimental Physics Investigator (2024). \nVenue: Elliott Hall – Room 130C\, 147 S.

SUMMARY:Chemical Engineering Spring Seminar Series: Andrew D. Jones
DESCRIPTION:Come to my window: Porosity and binding distribution provide better predictors for biofilm penetration \nLocation: 108 Snell Engineering Center \nAbstract: The Jones Systems for Engaging the Environment Lab builds novel tools to study biofilm dynamics. In this presentation we will discuss two such tools: a mechanical tool and a mathematical tool describing Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 interaction with antibiotics. Biofilms are the common mode of life for bacteria in infections and in the environment. Biofilm infections have been shown to be more recalcitrant to antibiotic treatment than planktonic bacteria. This recalcitrance has been partially attributed to periphery sequestration\, where antibiotics fail to penetrate biofilm cell clusters. Biofilms have also been identified as the primary environmental sink of engineered nanomaterials. However\, there have been results attributing charge as the main predictor of biofilm uptake of these nano-sized materials. We developed a model for antibiotic accumulation in bacterial biofilm microcolonies using heterogenous porosity and attachment site profiles replicating the periphery sequestration reported in prior experimental studies on Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 biofilm cell clusters. We account for periphery sequestration using two physical phenomena: biofilm matrix attachment and volume-exclusion due to variable biofilm porosity. The antibiotic accumulation model which incorporated both phenomena better fit observed periphery sequestration data compared to previous models that leveraged charge. We propose a novel tool for being able to conduct medium throughput screens with microscopy measurements on these biofilms and validate it against existing standards. We show quantifiable effects of antibiotics on biofilm streamers and propose that this may be useful for quantifying the attachment site density and porosity. \n\n \nAkhenaton-Andrew (Andrew) D.
