Our research looks at the basic mechanism of drug resistance in bacteria or cancer cells and then we work on translational solutions to combat these problems. Our approach felt validated at this meeting where we networked with industry end-users as well as disease-on-a chip modeling academicians.

Virtually presented our lab’s research on tackling two pressing problems in biomedical research at the Society for Biomaterials/ Japanese Society for Biomaterials joint Symposium in Honolulu, Hawaii. (January 8-10, 2022). I am presenting our research on broad-spectrum antibiotic-free antibacterials to combat multi-drug resistant bacterial infections. Oral Presentation Session: Session 1: Bioglasses/Ceramics/Other Hard Materials2:37 – 2:52 …

The University of Notre Dame’s Institute for Precision Health (IPH) has awarded funding to researchers spanning multiple departments at the University, as well as to colleagues at partner schools. IPH awarded proposals with two types of funding: seed grants, which provide funding for high-risk, high-reward research ideas, and harvest grants, which help researchers expand on established projects or pursue …

Excited that our phase-II proposal to the American Cancer Society’s Institutional Research Grant (ACS-IRG) program was funded. This was upon successful phase I completion of our proposal for a novel magnetically driven drug nanocarrier. We propose to use these drug nanocarriers to mitigate cardiotoxicity in the new study. The data generated by the study funded …

This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids’ cancer! Only 4% of the billions of dollars the government spends annually on cancer research is directed towards treating childhood cancer. Right now, cancer is the biggest killer of children from disease in the United States. Over 15,700 children are diagnosed …

According to the World Health Organization, one of the biggest health threats around the world is antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Researchers at Notre Dame are working to combat this problem by developing a nanoparticle-based system. Please check out this press release written by Brandi Wampler, our science communication specialist at Notre Dame Research. https://news.nd.edu/news/new-technology-could-help-tackle-antibiotic-resistance/ The peer-reviewed publication …

Phage-mimicking antibacterial core–shell nanoparticles. Excited to have started publishing and filing for a patent on our antibiotic-free antimicrobial nanoparticles research. More to come in the following months! Thankful for the support from #notredame #ideacenter #antibioticresistance #ndnano #Advanceddiagnosticsandtherapeutics #ADandT #openaccess The increasing frequency of nosocomial infections caused by antibiotic-resistant microorganisms concurrent with the stagnant discovery of …
