Smart Antimicrobial Biomaterials

10/20/2025, 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

We have now entered a “post-antibiotic era” in which antimicrobial resistance is leading to fatal outcomes for common, once treatable infections. Bacteria and fungi routinely adapt antimicrobial resistance mechanisms, the rates and complexity of which can be exacerbated by frequent use of broad-spectrum antimicrobials and prolonged exposure. The formation of microbial biofilms further complicates infection...

Multiorgan MicroPhysiological Systems in Studies of Immunity and Metabolism.

10/27/2025, 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

The Laboratory of Human Biomimetics engineers donor-matched, immunocompetent multi-organ microphysiological systems (MPS) to interrogate how tissue-resident immune niches shape human metabolic and inflammatory responses. In this seminar, I will overview two complementary platforms and the insights they enable. First, an autologous gut–liver axis with resident immune compartments is coupled to single-cell RNA/TCR profiling of donor-matched...
