Maria Coronel, along with Ryan Geusz (undergraduate student), recently published their findings on the impact of our patented oxygen generating biomaterial, OxySite, on mitigating stress and damage in pancreatic islets under low oxygen tension (hypoxia). This manuscript, published in the journal Biomaterials, provides guidance as to the detrimental impact of low oxygenation, a common problem […]

Our collaborative work with Dr. Ashu Agarwal’s and Dr. Buchwald’s team at the University of Miami was recently published in the journal Lab on a Chip. This work, led by Dr. Agarwal’s postdoctoral fellow Dr. Lenguito, highlights the engineering of fluidic platforms for islet interrogation and is the first step in our research in engineering optimal culture devices for islets and beta […]
