Prof. Shukla chosen to participate in the NAE 26th annual USF symposium!
Congratulations to Professor Anita Shukla who has been chosen as one of 85 of the nation’s brightest early-career engineers and will take part in the National Academy of Engineering’s (NAE) 26th annual U.S. Frontiers of Engineering (USFOE) symposium! The Frontiers of Engineering symposium brings together top-notch engineers, early in their careers, to learn about cutting-edge developments in fields other than their own, thereby facilitating collaborative work and the transfer of new approaches and techniques across fields. Highlighted here in the Brown News!

New ChemComm Paper!
How can we covalently bond stem cells to biomaterial surfaces? Check out how our team, spearheaded by Dr. Alessia Battigelli, used strain-promoted click chemistry to attach mesenchymal stem cells to gellan hydrogels in our latest Royal Society of Chemistry Chemical Communications paper, entitled “Inducing mesenchymal stem cell attachment on non-cell adhesive hydrogels through click chemistry“!!
