Dr. Wang served as session chair in BMES 2016

Dr. Wang served as a platform session chair for this year’s BMES Annual Meeting on October 5-8, 2016 in Minneapolis. The platform session, “Biomaterials for Immunoengineering I,” is a forum to cover most recent advancements in Immunoengineering based on Biomaterials, from fundamental sciences to practical applications.

Fei and Mary, welcome!

CBE undergraduate students, Fei Chen and Mary Ommaid will join Wang Lab as  researcher to work on drug delivery and stem cells projects. Welcome!

Smart Materials for Tissue Engineering : Fundamental Principles published!

The book, “Smart Materials for Tissue Engineering : Fundamental Principles“, edited by Dr. Wang has been published by Royal Society of Chemistry. The goal of this book is to document the recent advances of the fundamental principles for smart materials in tissue engineering. As an emerging area in materials science, smart materials have achieved tremendous developments in recent years. However, there is no book to summarize the research of smart materials in tissue engineering. This book will fill this gap and try to introduce the new tissue engineering smart materials to a wide range of audiences, from the scientific communities to industrial organisations. Congratulations!

Fundamental Principles

Incoming freshmen check out CBE labs

Students enrolled in the College of Engineering APEX program have kicked off their summer of transition to Iowa State and are spending time in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering (CBE). The Academic Program for EXcellence for Engineers (APEX) is an intensive eight-week summer bridge program designed to increase the success rate of incoming multicultural, first-year engineering students who have just graduated from high school. Participants, some of whom are undecided about which engineering discipline to pursue, are exposed to all departments in the College of Engineering through the program.

Dr. Wang presented at Iowa Academy of Science Annual Meeting
