We are thrilled to be at #SFB2025 in Chicago this week! @vanessadoulames.bsky.social will be sharing some of our recent work on a hydrogel-mediated approach for spinal cord injury. Excited to see everyone! 🤗

Really important piece to share widely. Too many Americans don’t know how severe a threat this Administration poses to our scientific infrastructure, global leadership, and health security

1st post in a new space seems like a good spot to feature the 1st project by the lab's 1st PhD student! We set out to engineer calcium-responsive proteins as muscle-mimetic materials and discovered some surprises along the way. Congrats to Marina, Winnie, Gatha, and Kenny!

I didn’t see a general starter pack for people in the #BME and #BioE communities so I started to put one together. Let me know if I’ve missed anyone in particular or if you’d like to be added! #ScienceSky #AcademicSky

New paper in Advanced Materials! We develop a family of 3D viscoelastic HA matrices and use them to study effects of stress relaxation on GBM invasion. Led by ChemE PhD student Emily Carvalho in collaboration with Andreas Stahl (UCB) and Manish Aghi (UCSF) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Viscoelastic High‐Molecular‐Weight Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogels Support Rapid Glioblastoma Cell Invasion with Leader–Follower Dynamics
Glioblastoma spheroids invade faster in stress-relaxing, high-molecular-weight (HMW) hyaluronic acid hydrogels than in more elastic-like, low-molecular-weight counterparts. The long HMW chains create....
