Another exciting story from our group! We showed that both paracellular and transcellular transport, particularly exocytosis govern nanoparticle translocation across lymphatic endothelial cells using basic kinetic modeling. Check out our new manuscript: pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021…
Super proud of my amazing team this year who scored FIVE oral presentations and FIVE posters! Check out their presentations at #BMES2024. Excited to see everyone there!
Hiring departments, be sure to check out the poster from amazing postdoc in my group, Dr Sarfaraz Ejazi at the Meet the Faculty candidate session at #BMES2024 tomorrow!
Very excited to share our newest work led by Dr. Mayowa Amosu demonstrating CpG-ODN can treat the rare lung disease lymphangioleiomyomatosis. We show that CpG activates plasmacytoid dendritic cells and leads to cytotoxic CD8 T cell responses against LAM doi.org/10.1165/rcmb.2023-04…
Meet the first cohort of the Maximizing Access to Research Careers (MARC) Program: Hahnbit Kang, Wilhelm Smith, and Heather Neisser!

Back from the #WBC2024 in Daegu, 🇰🇷! HIGHLIGHTS include: Co-organized the New PIs in Biomaterials workshop w/ @BLT_BME, chaired 2 sessions on cardiovascular therapy & immunity with @MaiselLab & KARAOKE! #WBC2024#Biomaterials#IYKYK#EPIC
THRILLED to share some big news: I GOT TENURE!!! Starting July 1st I will officially be an Associate Prof at @UMDBIOE.
Thanks to all who supported me, especially my amazing lab, who keep me sane and grounded, and without whom I would not have gotten here!
I am beyond proud - my team has won so many awards this semester: two @ClarkSchool undergraduate Excellence in Research Awards to Reina Patolia and Yassmin Abbouchi, @UMDGradSchool's Outstanding GA Award to @AnnDeRamirez, @UMDCBMG's DEI Recognition Award to @aishabdulkarimu
Last semester, Fischell Institute and @UMDBIOE Department teamed up to offer CIMER training sessions for engineering graduate students and postdoctoral researchers that want to improve their roles as mentors for research trainees.

Also pictured are the facilitators for the CIMER training sessions: the Fischell Institute Assistant Director Martha Wang (top left) Fischell Affiliate Fellows and BIOE Assistant Professors Jenna Mueller (top right) and Katharina Maisel (bottom left), and Fischell Fellow, BIOE Associate Professor and Chair of the DEI Committee Alisa Clyne ( bottom right). These sessions are sponsored by the BIOE Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee.
I would not have been able to tweet about any of these things this week if it wasn't for the amazing group that has made all these exciting new development possible, who work together tirelessly and bring joy and authenticity into science!
