Nanomedicine Lab at UConn

 Happy Fathers to alllll Fathers! Recently, Dr Chen has a new addition to his family! This is exciting for all of us! He shared this picture to the UCONN page and they re-posted it on their Instagram! Look at that tiny HUSKY outfit! So cute!! 

 What a day!  We just had our School of Engineering Poster Competition of 2022 hosted by the SAGE committee yesterday on March 8th!  It was a huge success. Lab members from our groups participated as well as volunteered for this event!  Ian Sands, the winner of the BME Department!! We are so proud of him!! Good work, Ian!! You have successfully nailed this Poster Presentation!!  Anne Yau, was the very first person (in the BME department) to present at this event and it was nerve-wracking!!  Delaram and Allison are the volunteers of the event! Amazing Job everyone!!  Of course, let's not forget Mikayla who was the planner of this event! Alot of her sweat and tears  (and time and energy!) 

BMES 2021 has come and gone! It is over before we know it! It was fun!  Four graduate students (Ian, Anne, Jin, and Allison) with an undergraduate (Aaron) went to BMES 2021 this year, held in Orlando, Florida The weather was HOT! But it was worth it! Did you see the conference venue they held it at? Amazing!  Well, of course, other than that, we did our presentations too!!! Everyone except for Allison did Poster presentation on their respective topics! Allison, our hardworking amazing graduate student (who will graduate soon!! :() was presenting orally at 8AM in the morning, ON A SATURDAY!!!  Of course we all went to her presentation to show our support!! Below was our schedule for the conference and further down, our adventuresssssss in Orlando Florida. Mind you, we were definitely immersed in the conference! There were so many things going on!  Allison Surian –  Codelivery of Doxorubicin and siRNA via Janus Based Nanopiece for Improved Cancer Treatment – 10/9/2021 at 8 am - Oral pres

  Happy New Year everyone! It has been a crazy semester so far for all of us and Crazy Year for everyone on the planet! I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy while avoiding the positives!  We are currently on a semester break, and the lab meeting will resume next week! (Week of 1/4/2021).  While we have fewer updates, we are doing a lot of work despite the pandemic! (While social distancing of course!) So far, all of us had done at least one virtual conference, wrote a book chapter, and a review.  Also, did I forget, we ARE GOING TO SPACE! (This needs to be repeated n times!) More information here!   If you haven't already, please follow our Facebook page, it has been a blast and we have uploaded a few updates from relevant research from Science Daily .  Look forward to our more frequent update when things get back to new normal! We are still wearing masks and social distancing of course! But we hope to get a few pictures of getting together virtually soon! :)
