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...

Tanvi won the best poster in Immune Engineering for her work on cationic exosomes for cartilage repair. Congrats Tanvi!

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 work on cationic contrast agent application for the diagnosis of early-stage osteoarthritis was highlighted by Northeastern University College of Engineering. Read [HERE]

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...

Tanvi and Tim won the prize for poster categories at the College of Engineering Expo. Congrats!

Our recently published article explores the use of combining IL-1Ra with cationic drug delivery carriers for post-traumatic osteoarthritis. The work demonstrates that electrically charged IL-1Ra is more effective than neutral IL-1Ra in repairing cartilage. It...
