MD-PhD student @ CU MSTP, Anseth lab / i work on all kinds of stuff (biomaterials, photopolymers, CANs + more)
Our latest study, led by my amazing friend and MSTP classmate Nat Skillin, is online now at Cell Biomaterials. We show that implanted LCE nanocomposites retain their ability to actuate with transcutaneous NIR light even long after the fibrous capsule forms! www.cell.com/cell-biomate...

Thrilled to share our latest work in Macromolecules, a very fun collab with my (social media-less) dear friend Josh Kamps in Chris Bowman’s lab. We use DCM as a methylene source to form acetal-linked recyclable polymers and networks, including hugely scalable hydrogels. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Delighted to share my latest work, co-first authored with fantastic undergrad mentee Joshua Lee, on highly entangled hydrogels with photolabile crosslinks. We compare selective crosslink cleavage (which lengthens chains) to non-selective photo-oxidative degradation. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

looking forward to getting familiar with this platform since it seems like the fading science twitter community is starting to re-form here — happy #MicroscopyMonday to all!
