Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering @ CCNY. I like nanomedicine, WVU, UVA, the Braves, and most dinosaurs.
My grad program in the WSJ, yikes
Meet Gracie Himes, age 20.
Her goal: Fight cancer by developing new medicines.
On March 3, her dreams were shattered when Trump admin cuts hit West Virginia University, which rescinded her PhD program offer.

Breaking news: The Trump administration cut billions in biomedical funding. Researchers say it imperils work on cancer and other illnesses.
NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately
The move halts a large slice of money for most universities and research institutions virtually overnight, imperiling vital research in everything from cancer to heart disease.

Excited to share our most recent paper, where we engineered an optical nanosensor to rapidly and accurately differentiate estrogen receptor status in patient breast cancer cytology samples! This was a great collaboration with MSKCC! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Detection of Estrogen Receptor Status in Breast Cancer Cytology Samples by an Optical Nanosensor
Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT)-based optical sensors are designed to detect the presence of the estrogen receptor on the surface of breast cancer cells. The engineered sensor is benchmarked in...

This part of the job is the most fun! I’m very excited that 4th year PhD student Amelia Ryan passed her candidacy exam today! She did an excellent job presenting her plans to develop a multiplexed fluorescent nanosensor to study neurodegenerative diseases. Great job Amelia!
