Congrats to our group for publishing a paper in PNAS in which we developed a bottom-up approach to direct the assembly of cell-laden microgels to generate tissue constructs with tunable microarchitecture and complexity. This assembly process is driven by the tendency of multi-phase liquid-liquid systems to minimize the surface area and the resulting surface free energy between the phases. This bottom-up approach for the directed assembly of cell-laden microgels provides a powerful and highly scalable approach to form biomimetic 3D tissue constructs and opens a new paradigm for directing the assembly of mesoscale materials. |

| Prof. Khademhosseini awarded the 2008 LaMer Award of the American Chemical Society |
|
|
| |
Prof. Khademhosseini has been selected as the 2008 LaMer Award winner by the American Chemical Society. Annually, the Division of Colloid and Surface Chemistry of the American Chemical Society selects the outstanding PhD Thesis for the year. All PhD candidates from chemistry, materials science, chemical engineering, physics, biochemistry, etc. programs, from US and Canadian Schools, who completed research in colloids or surface chemistry, are eligible for this award. Selection is based on originality, significance, and quality of the work, as well as clearly visible contribution of the student independent of the professor, and promise of the student as a future investigator. As a recognition of this accomplishment he will be giving the LaMer plenary lecture at the ACS Colloids & Surface Science Symposium at NC State University.

| Prof. Khademhosseini co-edits the book on ‘Micro- and nano engineering the cell microenvironment' |
|
|
| |
Prof. Khademhosseini and colleagues edit the first volume to thoroughly cover the use of micro and nano system technologies involved in developing cell-based bioengineering application. Supported with 140 illustrations and written by pioneers in the field, it explores the top-down and bottom-up technologies that can be used to control various aspects of the cellular microenvironment.
