Many biopolymers not only have advanced mechanical properties such as high modulus, toughness, and elasticity, but more importantly, exhibit dynamic properties. Inspired by Nature, Dr. Zhibin Guan and his team have designed a series of biomimetic modular polymers with folded nano-domains as the repeat units. These new materials manifest an exciting combination of key mechanical,... Free and open to public -

Innovations in hardware and control have created a new class of orthoses or exoskeletons to augment and assist human movement. These designs enable forces and torques to be applied to nearly any segment of the body. However, predicting how an individual will adapt their movement in response to external assistance remains incredibly challenging. These predictions... -

The mesopelagic or “twilight zone” extends vertically in the ocean from about 200 to 1000m, the depth where sunlight ceases to penetrate. It is particularly under -explored and poorly understood due in large part to the logistical and technological challenges in accessing it. However, knowledge of this vast region is critical for many reasons, including... Free and open to public -

A closed loop, glucose sensing, and insulin responsive system could dramatically improve treatment options for insulin dependent diabetics. Clinical islet transplantation, the intrahepatic loading of allogeneic islets, shows the potential to provide this intimate control, by transplanting the very cells with this inherent glucose sensing/insulin secreting capacity. The success of clinical islet transplantation is hindered... Free and open to public -

The unique structures and functions of biological materials arise from the unique processes of patterning and rearrangement they employ – namely morphogenesis. Esser-Kahn seeks to mimic the structures formed by biological systems by mimicking the process which forms them. He will detail his initial efforts to develop a simple synthetic morphogenetic system that repatterns microvascular... Free and open to public -

Dr. Amanda Jamieson is interested on understanding host resilience mechanisms to infectious and non-infectious diseases of the lung. Most research focuses on curing diseases by ridding hosts of a particular environmental insult, cancerous cell, or clearing a pathogen. She is focused on what host mechanisms are necessary to increase resilience, and hence survival, to disease.... -

Cellular processes depend on physical associations between proteins; these same interaction networks are often disrupted by mutations, disease, or drugs. Yet despite progress, particularly by research groups at HMS, knowledge of the myriad of macromolecules present in different cells and tissues remains limited, especially regarding the effects of developmental, environmental or small molecule perturbations.
