Alexander Caldwell, who recently earned his PhD in Chemical and Biological Engineering, is the co-first author with graduate student Varsha Rao on a new paper in Biomaterials. The work explores beneficial combinations of cells to promote healing in wounds. We asked Caldwell about the research problems the work explores, his time with the Anseth Lab and where his career might take him next.

New research from Assistant Professor Jerome Fox aims to provide a fundamental system of design rules for fine-tuning the biochemical outputs of fatty acid pathways, which can generate precursors for sustainable fuels and other useful chemicals for scientists and engineers.

New research into preventing and reversing the creation of misfolded protein aggregates known as fibrils could provide new therapeutic opportunities in the fight against neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s.

Graduate students Kathryn Mains and Kyle Schlafmann have earned fellowships in the National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship Program, a prestigious, national security-focused initiative.
