Thrilled to announce that I’ll be joining UIUC Bioengineering @BIOENGatIL as a tenure-track Assistant Professor in January, 2024!
Bioengineering at Illinois is hiring! We are looking for a candidate working at the intersection of Bioengineering and AI, broadly speaking. Happy to share my experience as a junior faculty too - feel free to reach out! #bioengineering #facultyjob #uiuc

I am thrilled to announce that the Jang Lab @BIOENGatIL has received the @NIH @NIBIBgov R21 Trailblazer Award! With this support, we will explore a next-generation delivery platform for systemic and targeted brain gene therapy. Please stay tuned for our exciting adeventure!

Can’t be more excited than this! Viviana is not only a leading scientist in the field but also such a great mentor. I am truly grateful for her mentorship which is still ongoing. Huge congratulations Viviana! 👏👏👏

Big achievement🥳 not surprising though - we, the dept as a whole, are together with full of enthusiasm and support not only for innovative research but also for inclusive education for next-generation bioengineers across all disciplines. So grateful to be part of @BIOENGatIL
What an amazing first semester as a #newpi! We’ve got the lab running finally and are waiting for graduate students to come this Fall. These undergrads are the heroes who bravely joined the lab with nothing and made it work. Thank you all and let’s have more fun in the Fall!

Delivering and expressing a gene in cells is usually a messy (heterogeneous) process. The messiness interferes with research and applications such as gene therapy.
In two new papers, we introduce a toolbox of synthetic miRNA-based control circuits that enable more precise, gene dosage-invariant gene expression, and show how they improve a mouse model of Rett syndrome gene therapy:

🎉 Join us in welcoming new faculty member Professor Min Jee Jang to the BIOE department! To get to know Professor Jang a little better, we asked her a few questions about her work and what makes bioengineering important to her.
