Hopkins engineer uncovers the chemical “compass” that guides cells through our bodies

Team can locate aggressive cancers using laser light and folded DNA

Hopkins engineers are working on a system to diagnose whether a person has malaria using near-infrared light.

Launched in May 2021, the Oracle Research Fellows Program recognizes potentially transformative research proposals from current and future research luminaries.

Breakthrough medical technology like mRNA vaccines rely on tiny nanoparticles to deliver medicine to cells. A new device will help drug manufacturers and evaluators like the FDA more precisely measure genetic payloads to evaluate drug effectiveness.

"Ruffle" appendages on certain cells help them sense the viscosity of fluids around them, allowing them to transform their shape to better move around.

Developed by Ishan Barman's lab, the non-invasive technique using an optical probe provides early signs of how a tumor is responding to treatment.

Using DNA as a scaffold, engineers create synthetic nanomaterial that could pave the way for rapid and more accurate diagnostic testing from a single molecule.

Using microfluidic technologies, Soojung Claire Hur and co-investigator Thomas Pisanic are aiming to develop a microfluidic primary cell editing platform (pCEP) for personal gene therapy with a new award from the National Institutes of Health.
