Our Lab News
Last Friday was busy! Poster presentations and awards for Tanvi, Hengli, and Tim, and a Works in Progress (WIP) seminar from HΓ©ctor! π€
Awards: Tanvi & Hengli: Honorable Mention; Tim: Best Interdisciplinary Poster
Hengli presented exciting new work on Intra-Joint Sustained Release of Neosaxitoxin for Long-Term Osteoarthritis Pain Relief at Tufts! π€
This work was funded by Tufts University Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI). Thank you Tufts!
Congrats to Tim for getting Gold at the 5 minute Thesis Competition with a $200 cash prize! π₯

Congratulations to Dr. Chenzhen Zhang! π
Congratulations to Chenzhen Zhang on his Ph.D. Dissertation: "Electrical Charging of Macromolecules for Targeted Delivery to Cartilage for Applications in Diagnostic Imaging and Drug Delivery". Chenzhen has been an invaluable member of our lab, contributing towards...
Shoutout to Tanvi for winning best Poster at the Society for Biomaterials – Biomaterials Immune Engineering Special Interest Group! π
Tanvi won the best poster in Immune Engineering for her work on cationic exosomes for cartilage repair. Congrats Tanvi!
Congrats to Prof. Bajpayee for being nominated as a 2023 College of Engineering Faculty Fellow! π
We loved sharing new research at the Society for Biomaterials in San Diego! π
We presented our works at Society for Biomaterials (SFB) 2023 Annual Meeting: Bill: Spatial Configuration of Charge Modulates Transport of Cationic Peptides in Cartilage Matrix (Podium) Tanvi: Cationic Exosomes Anchored with Receptor Antagonist of IL-1 for Cartilage...
Our Research was Highlighted by Northeastern College of Engineering! π¨
Our work on cationic contrast agent application for the diagnosis of early-stage osteoarthritis was highlighted by Northeastern University College of Engineering. Read [HERE]
Read our new ACS Nano publication about CT imaging for Cartilage! π
Our work demonstrates development of optimally charged cationic contrast agents for targeting negatively charged cartilage, enabling it for CT imaging. These contrast agents work at very low doses due to their charge based high intra-cartilage uptake. Great Work...
