Duke BME has a stellar community of biomaterials experts, including @seguralab.bsky.social. Her team develops biomaterials that can harness the body’s own ability to repair itself. One of the applications of this work is in the brain, potentially limiting issues caused by strokes.

If you need help deciphering the circuitry of the brain, @neurocircuits.bsky.social is your guy. He helped make the body's most complex organ a little easier to understand:

Duke BME's been growing at a rapid pace over the years, and that means I get to meet new researchers and learn all about their work. Here's a profile I wrote for @chorye.bsky.social where I learned all about directed evolution:
