Immune modulatory biomaterials for treating cancer and cancer patients.

Biomaterials Scientist, Tissue Engineer, & Cancer Immunologist for the low, low price of a Biomedical Engineer. Interesting views and opinions are my own.

I'm pleased to announce that my lab will have a Postdoc opening this Fall in Biomaterials and Immune Engineering, with projects in Cancer Immunotherapy, Surgery, and 3D in vitro models. The lab is located at NCI Frederick, MD and we'll interview on a rolling basis starting as early as August.
Congratulations to all authors and Dr. Buckenmeyer for our paper in Cancer Research @aacrjournals.bsky.social, "A 3D Self-Assembly Platform Integrating Decellularized Matrix Recapitulates In Vivo Tumor Phenotypes and Heterogeneity." His image made Cover Art! aacrjournals.org/cancerres/ar...

Second nostalgia Baltimore meal during #BMES2024, with the lab
November 22, 2024 at 11:07 AM
Happy to be back in Baltimore for #BMES2024! The lab has a really good turnout, with talks by Sanjay, Iris, and myself and posters from Mike and Ireolu. Representing BME in the @theNCI intramural research program. Our lineup:

Back from a great visit at Case Western @CWRUBME. I loved the #immunoengineering interest from all the faculty and students I had the pleasure to meet.

Thanks to @Abhi_Immuneng for being a fantastic host and for the invitation to present our work!

Awesome talk by Sanjay Pal at the TERMIS world congress in Seattle!

He presented his work developing a ECM scaffold assisted therapeutic cancer vaccine. Come chat with him about it if you are around #TERMIS2024 @TERMIS

Eclipse Activity: painting the inside of an obsolete live-cell imaging box to block out light for our more sensitive microscopy. It seemed like the right time for such a project.

A big thank you to @GarciaLabGT on behalf of the NCI CCR @NCIResearchCtr for an excellent talk at NCI Frederick yesterday for the Distinguished Scientist Lecture Series!
November 22, 2024 at 11:24 AM
It was a good #BMES2023
November 22, 2024 at 11:33 AM
Very excited that our preprint “Extracellular matrix scaffold-assisted tumor vaccines induce tumor regression and long-term immune memory” is now online! Congrats to @Sanjay_Pal7 for and thanks to the NCI IRP @NCIResearchCtr for support....

Coming out of Twitter (and pandemic) hibernation to attend the #SFB meeting in Baltimore with my lab. It’s our first conference as a group, and we have several talks/ posters coming up on weds and thurs afternoon. Excited to see everyone in person again! @SFBiomaterials.
November 22, 2024 at 11:42 AM
Come join me today for my presentation to the virtual @NCState #TissueEngineering seminar series organized by @JessicaGluckPhD. #biomaterials and #immunotherapy interactions in #cancer treatment.

Talk is today (3/25) from...

First week of being a PI @theNCI is officially in the books!! Gotta say, it’s surprisingly satisfying getting those first few orders delivered.
November 22, 2024 at 12:07 PM
Really excited to announce that I’ve accepted an LOI for a tenure track investigator position at the @NIH National Cancer Institute in Frederick, MD. I’m starting a biomaterials immunoengineering lab as a Stadtman Investigator in the LCIM, starting early fall. (1/3)

Attending my first @EuTermis meeting in beautiful Rhodes, Greece. Plan on enjoying some great science (and beaches). For immunoengineers, see you at the Inflammation & Immunity sessions on Weds. #immunology #termiseu2019 #immunoengineering
November 22, 2024 at 12:16 PM
A quality tea selection @steepologie in Seattle really helps while waiting for a red eye after #SFB2019.
November 22, 2024 at 12:16 PM
Welcome everyone to the @SFBiomaterials meeting in Seattle! Come check out the Immunomodulatory Biomaterials session at 1:45 Thursday in Chelan 5. There will be talks about how #biomaterials instruct immune function by myself, @Dr_ASingh, the @GarciaLabGT and others! #SFB2019
