Congratulations to Dr. Derek Nelson for successful completion of the biomedical engineering Ph.D. degree requirements! Derek received the Karen and Lester Gerhardt Prize for his dissertation work, which focused on elastin-like peptide generation for drug delivery to the brain.

Congratulations to @aehamilton7 on successfully defending her M.Eng. thesis this semester. We thank Adelle for her many contributions to the lab and for her efforts to investigate poly(pro-curcumin) materials for neural applications in collaboration with @edpalermoRPI!

The Albany Stratton VA Medical Center will be hosting a VA Research Week. On Monday, Dr. Gilbert will be presenting his lab's research, which is in part supported by I01 and I21 VA funding. For more information on the event, please see the flyer below:

The journal, Cells Tissues Organs, is initiating its Young Investigator Award competition. This is a great opportunity for young investigators in the areas of developmental biology, stem cell biology, and tissue engineering to highlight their research. Applications due: 6/30!

Congratulations to Derek Nelson for successfully defending his Ph.D. dissertation! Derek’s project focused on the development of elastin-like polypeptides for intranasal drug delivery applications. Great work Derek!

Congratulations to Jess Funnell on successfully defending her Ph.D. dissertation this week! The title of her dissertation is: “Magnetic Electrospun Fibers for Neural Regeneration Applications”. Wishing you great success in all of your future scientific endeavors!

Entering the 4th year of our young investigator initiative at the journal Cells Tissues Organs where we’ve highlighted the exciting research of 25 new investigators over the past three years. Our deadline for receiving self-nominations is June 30th.

Excellent talk today by graduate student Adelle Hamilton at #BMES2022 focusing on Dr. Ruiwen Chen's poly(pro-curcumin) polymers as coating materials for neural interfacing electrodes - in collaboration with @edpalermoRPI Thanks @BMESociety!

Dr. Gilbert presenting former research associate's Dr. Manoj Gottipati's research conducted at @McPopLab_OSU with @edpalermoRPI as collaborator. Congrats Manoj and thanks to all collaborators and thanks @BMESociety for the opportunity to present!

Great poster presentation by graduate student Jess Funnell which highlights our mRNA-delivery work for peripheral nerve regeneration! @RPI_BME #BMES2022 @BMESociety

Congratulations to Ph.D. student Derek Nelson for successfully passing the candidacy exam! Derek's work is focused on developing elastin-like-peptides (ELPs) for neural applications.

The Cells Tissues Organs symposium will be held virtually on September 12th. Congratulations to the awardees @RC_Cornelison, @Becky_Wachs, @jorge_almodovar, @CHM_RMR, @LabRaghavan, @DrErikaMoore, @RKoppes, @KSadtler, @ZhenMa2046, @RicGottardi! bit.ly/3ea2wne
