A new study published in Cell Reports, co-led by University of Florida’s J. Crayton Pruitt Family Department of Biomedical Engineering associate professor Edward A. Phelps, Ph.D., and College of Veterinary Medicine chair and professor Clayton E. Mathews, Ph.D., reveals that beta cell dysfunction occurs independently of immune cell infiltration in the pancreas during the onset of […]

Edward Phelps, Ph.D., associate professor in the J. Crayton Pruitt Family Department of Biomedical Engineering, has been invited to serve as a member of the Biomaterials and Biointerfaces Study Section, part of the Bioengineering Sciences and Technologies Integrated Review Group within the Center for Scientific Review at the National Institutes of Health. His term began […]

In an effort to address the unmet needs of immunoengineering for beta cell replacement in type 1 diabetes (T1D), Drs. Edward Phelps, Holger Russ, and Helen N. Jones are pioneering strategies aimed at locally controlling autoimmunity in T1D. Their research, poised to redefine treatment paradigms, focuses on leveraging immunomodulatory signals to promote tolerance towards grafted […]
