$2.7M NIH grant to fund next generation of synthetic blood

A multi-institutional team led by Dipanjan Pan, the Dorothy Foehr Huck & J. Lloyd Chair Professor in Nanomedicine at Penn State, recently received a four-year, $2.7 million grant from the National Institutes of Health’s National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute to develop the next generation of synthetic blood.

Biomedical engineering grad student earns American Heart Association fellowship

The American Heart Association (AHA) awarded Nivetha Gunaseelan, a doctoral candidate studying biomedical engineering in the Penn State College of Engineering, a predoctoral fellowship.

WATCH: Tracking disease progression in technicolor

The Laboratory for Materials in Medicine is advancing the imaging capabilities by developing contrast agents to target specific molecules and processes that may reveal more about disease progression than traditional scans.

New technique allows technicolor imaging of degenerative joint disease

Photon-counting CT scanner uses novel contrast agents in rats to observe multiple biological processes, revealing evidence of osteoarthritis long before clinical symptoms develop.

‘Better than graphene’ material development may improve implantable technology

Borophene, the atomically thin version of boron first synthesized in 2015, is more conductive, thinner, lighter, stronger and more flexible than graphene, the 2D version of carbon. Now, researchers at Penn State have made the material potentially more useful by imparting chirality — or handedness — on it, which could make for advanced sensors and implantable medical devices.

New GPS nanoparticle to treat basal-like breast cancers

Researchers from Penn State have developed a new “GPS nanoparticle” that delivers therapeutic payload to cancer cells

GPS nanoparticle platform precisely delivers therapeutic payload to cancer cells

A newly developed “GPS nanoparticle” injected intravenously can home in on cancer cells to deliver a genetic punch to the protein implicated in tumor growth and spread, according to researchers from Penn State.

First rapid tests for chlamydia, gonorrhea exhibit 100% sensitivity

Chlamydia and gonorrhea disease currently has a clinically available rapid test, but that could change thanks to a Penn State-led research team. This could be used for a variety of infections.

First rapid test for mpox developed, tech adaptable for other emerging diseases

The first rapid test for mpox, more commonly known as monkeypox, has been developed by a team of researchers led by Penn State.
