[John A Rogers @ProfJohnARogers]

Happy to announce our first paper of 2025, published in @NatureComms -- introducing wearable technologies for measuring flow through vascular access (VA) devices, such as those used in hemodialysis with patients who suffer from chronic kidney disease. The operating principles are related to those associated with devices that are under commercial development by @rhaeos for tracking flow of cerebrospinal fluid through shunts used to treat individuals with hydrocephalus.  Adapted use of this technology with VA devices, as described and demonstrated here, opens up a range of additional possibilities in patient monitoring. Particular thanks to Yujun Deng (now a faculty member at Shanghai Jiao Tong University @sjtu1896), @CarliniChemPD (now a faculty member at @ucsantabarbara) and Hany Arafa (now at Apple) for their leadership on this project, and to senior collaborators Prof. Yonggang Huang (@NorthwesternU) and Prof. @rahmioklu (@MayoClinic) for their theoretical and clinical contributions, respectively. Great way to kick off the new year!

@stephenacton7 @MarioNawfal Joke’s on you. We don’t go grey either, instead experiencing achromotrichia. Rough time to joke about those who never lose their powers.

In the 1990s, Herbert Hui invited me to give a seminar at Cornell.

“Let me introduce you to an interesting character,” Herbert said.

⁦I met @stevenstrogatz⁩.

“Here is a gift for you,” Steve said.

The book has given me many hours of pleasure of reading and illumination.

[Andrea S. Carlini @CarliniGroup]

@zhigangsuo @stevenstrogatz Love this book!!

[Andrea S. Carlini @CarliniGroup]

@GARRRRICK @mahamhaq401 @UCSB_chemistry Yes engineering is a huge focus in my lab as we aim to develop devices for biotech and biomedicine

[Andrea S. Carlini @CarliniGroup]

Very honored and proud to announce I will be joining the faculty at UC Santa Barbara as Assistant Professor of Biomaterials in the Chemistry & Biochemistry Department this year! @UCSB_chemistry
