• Customizable scaffolds for faster, higher-quality T cell production
  Immunotherapy, or tweaking the body’s own immune system to treat disease, is attracting significant attention in the medical field for its potential to offer long-lasting cures with fewer side effects than chemotherapy or other drugs. One type of immunotherapy involves isolating T cells (a type of white blood cell) from a patient’s body, sometimes modifying...

  Self-Improving Microvascular Materials
  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...
