The DeForest Lab at UW ChemE is off to a remarkable start for 2018. In January, the group announced an exciting advancement in therapeutics delivery with the 11th most read paper ever published in the history of Nature Chemistry: "Engineered modular biomaterial logic gates for environmentally triggered therapeutic delivery". This ground-breaking research also received a write-up in Chemical & Engineering News (Jan 22, 2017), and a feature article in UW News. In February, the group's paper, "Photoresponsive biomaterials for targeted drug delivery and 4D cell culture" was featured on the cover of Nature Reviews Materials. And now in March, the DeForest Lab's paper on "smart therapeutics" is featured on the cover of this month's edition of Nature Chemistry, and on the journal's home page.

Two New UW research centers ignite collaborative efforts. The secret ingredient? Chemical engineers.
The recent opening of the Molecular Engineering Materials Center (MEMC), a new Materials Science Research & Engineering Center (MRSEC), and of the Center for Dialysis Innovation (CDI), a joint venture between UW medicine and engineering, is accelerating the pace of cross-disciplinary research on campus. Working at the interface of disciplines has always been a hallmark of Chemical Engineering and it is no surprise that our faculty are playing key roles in both efforts.

Network of Synthetic Blood Microvessels Built
UW Medicine | Oct 4, 2017 | Barbara Rodriguez
To sustain engineered organs, the ability to generate vascular systems similar to parts of the body's own circulation will be critical. Researchers are reporting significant progress in generating a 3-dimensional network of blood vessels that can be grown and manipulated in a laboratory. Building vascular support for stem-cell repaired tissues or replacement organs will be vital to such regenerative therapies. Read More
