Congratulations to Dr. Jae Hong Park. He has been appointed as a senior researcher of the NEMS-BIO team in the prestigious Korean National NanoFeb Center, starting from October 15, 2008. His research field is Nano-Micro-Bio device and materials including Nano-micro-fluidics, Nano-Micro-wells, Lab on a Chips (DNA, protein, and cell chips), Bio-sensors, Regenerative medicine (organ chips). He has contributed to a number of projects on microfluidic channel fabrication and biomaterials during his stay in our lab.
Congratulations to Mahesh, Yanan, and Prof. Khademhosseini
September 16, 2008
The Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) awarded Mahesh K. Vidula, an MIT biological engineering undergraduate student, the 2008 Undergraduate Student Design and Research Award for the project, "A Pump-less Microfluidic Chip to Detect Cardiac Toxicity"; BMES also awarded Dr. Yanan Du and Prof. Khademhosseini the Outstanding Paper award. Their paper, "Method of bottom up directed assembly of cell-laden microgels", will be published in the new BMES journal “Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering”.
Dr. Shim is appointed as faculty in Korea
July 29, 2008
Congratulations to our own Dr. Jae Sool Shim has been appointed as a faculty member of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Yeungnam University, Korea, starting from September 1,2008. The mecanical engineering at Yeungnam University is one of the biggest in Korea (http://me.yu.ac.kr/index.jsp). He will teach two courses: 'Nanotechnology' and 'Numerical Analysis'. He contributed to a number of projects during his stay in our lab including high-throughput engineering of cellular microenvironments and mathematical analysis of fluid flow in microchannels.
Dr. Khademhosseini receives the IEEE/EMBS Early career award
May 09, 2008
Dr. Khademhosseini received the 2008 IEEE-EMBS early career award. This award is given annually for significant contributions to the field of biomedical engineering as evidenced by innovative research design, product development, patents, and/or publications made by an individual who is within 10 years of completing their highest degree at the time of the nomination. The ceremony will be held on August 21 during the Welcome Reception of EMBC'08.
The Khademhosseini Lab uses a multi-disciplinary approach, to develop microscale and nanoscale technologies with the ultimate goal of generating tissue-engineered organs and controlling cell behavior.
