Modular and Composite Approaches to Engineering Challenging Tissues with Polysaccharide Materials

236 Richards 360 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA, United States

ChE Seminar Series Presents: Howard W.T. Matthew, PhD Professor, Chemical Engineering, Wayne State University Abstract: Polysaccharides have long been recognized as polymeric materials with an array of properties that have made them indispensable for applications ranging from adhesives to property-enhancing nanomaterials.  As a result, they have found wide acceptance as food and drug additives.  Over […]

Engineered cellular models to explore human disease heterogeneity

236 Richards 360 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA, United States

ChE Seminar Series Presents:  Alison McGuigan, PhD Professor, Chemical Engineering & Applied Chemistry, University of Toronto Abstract: Ex vivo culture models provide powerful tools to interrogate the role of tumour heterogeneity in human cancers. Patient-derived organoids (PDOs) are emerging as powerful models to capture the genetic heterogeneity of human tumors. However, extrinsic factors present in the tumor microenvironment […]

Engineering Elastin-like Peptides to Control Solid Surface Properties: A Biomaterials Research Platform and Education Tool

236 Richards 360 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA, United States

ChE Seminar Series Presents: Dr. Julie N. Renner Associate Professor, Department of Chemical Engineering, Case Western Reserve University Abstract: Key biomaterials applications (e.g., bioelectronics, drug delivery, and tissue engineering) rely on control of solid surface properties for success. Surface-bound peptide monolayers are a promising way to control surface properties because peptides are biocompatible, easily tunable, […]

How green hydrogen is made

236 Richards 360 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA, United States

ChE Seminar Series Presents: Marc T.M. Koper Leiden Institute of Chemistry Leiden University, Leiden, The Netherlands Abstract:  The electrocatalytic production of hydrogen through water splitting is a necessary approach for storing (excess) renewable electricity as chemical energy in fuels, and for making green hydrogen as a building block for the chemical industry. Here, I will […]
