Congrats Luis on your 1st author paper!
We identified a potent mast cell-activating peptide (MP12W) that, when combined with CpG, forms a nanoparticle intranasal vaccine providing broad protection against H1 influenza.

Check out Ryan Woodring's 1st author publication "Supervised Machine Learning for Predicting Drug Release from Acetalated Dextran Nanofibers"
Just accepted: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...
We show that drug release is dictated by scaffold parameters not drug physiochemical properties.
