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!

Lab members received scholarships!
This year, the undergraduate researchers Alex Hall received the precious Lois and Manley R. Hoppe Scholarship; Seth Baetzold received the precious Chemical and Biological Engineering Department Scholarship; Martin Asama received the precious Lyle J. & Marcia L. Higgins Engr. Scholarship. Congratulations!
Honored as Lloyd Mayer Scholar!
Dr. Wang was honored as the first Lloyd Mayer Scholar in the 2015 Advances in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (AIBD) Conference at Orlando, FL. This award is in honor of Lloyd Mayer, MD (1952-2013), a visionary leader and brilliant scientist whose life was dedicated to finding cures for patients with IBD and improving the quality of life of those suffering from these diseases. This Lloyd Mayer Scholarship is established to recognize an exceptional early career scientist who emulates Dr. Mayer’s passion for innovative research in studying IBD immunology and mucosal health, as well as his commitment to fostering a robust IBD research community through leadership and collaboration. Congratulations!
Lloyd Mayer Scholar 2015
Invited as Editor for Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC)
Dr. Wang was invited as Editor for Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) Smart Materials Series. Smart materials are materials that respond sensitively to small changes in physical or chemical conditions with relatively large conformation or property changes. Smart materials for tissue engineering are produced by modifying the physicochemical and biological properties of the scaffolds with response to external stimuli to enhance the tissue regeneration. Congratulations~
Invitation to Edit Textbook!
Dr. Wang has been invited to edit textbook for the publishing house of IGI Global. The title of the textbook will be “Diverse Application of Nanotechnology in Biomedicine, Chemistry, and Engineering”.
Congratulations to Ufuoma!
Ufuoma Ikoba has been invited to attend National Society of Black Engineers Conference. Her research focuses on applications of nanotechnology in infectious and inflammatory diseases. Congratulations~
