Thank you to #CRS2025 for the award! Huge thanks to @MJMitchell_Lab for all the support and @WeissmanLab @JilianMelamed for being the best collaborators!
Thank you to #CRS2025 for the award! Huge thanks to @MJMitchell_Lab for all the support and @WeissmanLab @JilianMelamed for being the best collaborators!
We will also have two posters by @ASThatte2 on steroid lipid nanoparticles for mRNA autoimmune disease therapeutics and Melgious Ang on photoactivatable lipid nanoparticles! #CRS2025 @CRSScience
Mitchell Lab is off to #CRS2025 to give 8 talks by @Junchao_online @_emilyhan_ @DongyoonKim5 @HannahGeisler_ @ShiQiangqiang @hannahyamagata @hannahsafford_ on mRNA vaccines, lipid nanoparticles, cancer immunotherapy, fetal and maternal health, CNS targeting and more! @CRSScience
Breaking News: A baby with a rare disorder made medical history by receiving the first custom gene-editing treatment. The technique used has the potential to help people with thousands of other uncommon genetic diseases. nyti.ms/4j3xGs8
Check out our latest publication in @NanoLetters led by @MJMitchell_Lab PhD student and lab softball Coach @hannahsafford_ where we explore tuning LNP elasticity using atomic force microscopy to enhance mRNA LNP delivery to the placenta! Link to article: pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…
Congrats to star undergrad, Ben Nachod for winning the William C. Hall Scholarship! Great job! 🎉@MJMitchell_Lab @PennEngineers @pennbioeng
