Our group incorporates metabolic engineering and systems biology approaches in combination with biochemical and molecular biology measurements to identify targets and disease biomarkers. To modulate these targets and pathway we are concomitantly developing polymeric-based drug delivery systems.
Professional organizations (POs) are established communities that significantly influence the competencies and values of engineers, but the impact of their interaction with academia on undergraduate education is not fully understood.
Soft Matter Days: April 8-17, will feature invited guest speakers discussing a variety of interdisciplinary topics in soft matter and complex fluids. These topics sit at the interface of chemical & mechanical engineering, materials science, physics, chemistry, and biology. Guest speakers will discuss real-world phenomena found in food, blood flow, and granular materials. Two talks […]
Taken together, organic batteries offer the promise of a circular platform free of critical elements.
The oral administration of peptides and proteins remains one of the great challenges in pharmaceutical science.
Development of an in vitro-in vivo correlation between lymph-cannulated animals and the primary transport assay developed herein might assist preclinical programs in translating lipid-based oral modalities to humans. Expansion of the organoid donor set (by species and small intestinal region), combinatorial probing of more lipid stimulation axes (by substrate chain length and saturation), and scaling of monolayer culture could refine the lymphatic assay into a high-throughput screen.
This talk will present our work using a chemical looping approach where solid particles of metal oxides are the sole source of oxygen to catalytic reactions. In particular, I will discuss the chemical looping epoxidation (CL-E) of ethylene to produce ethylene oxide (EO) and chemical looping oxidative dehydrogenation (CL-ODH) of ethanol to produce acetaldehyde.
This research highlights the critical role of the mechanical environment on GCX in vascular health, particularly in the context of atherosclerosis.

Join us for our Annual Chemical Engineering Research Showcase in the Cabral Center! Every year, our Chemical Engineering PhD students and select faculty members present their work at the Research Showcase in the form of Oral Presentations, Poster Sessions, and 5-minute Presentations. All are welcome to attend.
