Congrats to Héctor A. Millán Cotto and Coauthors on the recently published work in Journal of Materials Chemistry B: “Cationic-motif-modified exosomes for mRNA delivery to retinal photoreceptors”
This work demonstrated the potential of milk-derived cationic-motif-modified exosomes for mRNA delivery to photoreceptors in the retina via the topical route. Exo-CPC has the potential for targeting several ocular tissues via the topical route by taking advantage of...
Congrats to Helna on receiving 2023 IBSA Fellowship Award!
Congratulations to Helna Mary Baby on IBSA 2023 Fellowship Award! Helna receives this prestigious award from IBSA which grants her support on the project "Cartilage Targeted Delivery of IL-1Ra in-situ Circular RNA using Cationic-Peptide-Engineered Exosomes for...
We had fun presenting our research at the annual Bioengineering symposium 2024!
Thursday was busy at the BIOE symposium with Tim and Helna's oral presentations and Hengli's talk for the 5-minute thesis competition!
2024 Commencement ceremony was a blast with Drs. Chenzhen Zhang and Héctor Millán Cotto!
Congratulations Dr. Chenzhen Zhang and Dr. Héctor Millán Cotto!
Congrats to Chenzhen and Coauthors on the recently published work in Small Methods: “Charge-Reversed Exosomes for Targeted Gene Delivery to Cartilage for Osteoarthritis Treatment”
This work demonstrated that surface-modified cationic exosomes can penetrate through the full thickness of early-stage arthritic cartilage and deliver the encapsulated genetic materials to chondrocytes residing in the tissue’s deep layers for OA treatment. The paper...
Congratulations to Salima for 2024 Huntington 100 Awards!
Please congratulate Salima Amiji for being selected as Huntington 100 inductee [CLICK HERE]! Salima was one of our stellar UG researchers who started as a YSP high school scholar in our lab and was involved in our research works.
Congratulations to Dr. Héctor Millán Cotto! 🎓
Congratulations to Héctor Millán Cotto for completing a successful PhD defense! Hector’s thesis is focused on designing exosomes for gene delivery to the retina via the topical route. All the best to Hector for the future!
We had fun presenting our work at the Orthopedic Research Society meet 2024 in Long Beach, CA!
Our students had a great time presenting all the research at the Orthopedic Research Society annual meet 2024! Check out the links for the talks at the conference- Tim's talk Helna's IVD talk Helna's mRNA talk
