Tweets from the Therapeutic Micro & Nano Technology Laboratory at UCSF led by Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences professor and chair, Tejal Desai, PhD.
New review paper out from graduate students @YiqiCao @karesamy and senior scientist Dan Bernards, PhD! It covers new implantable systems for chronic delivery to eye, and the future of ocular biologics delivery! Check it out! #DrugDelivery#Glaucoma https://t.co/vFoyP3KjVF
A new paper from @BioE_Beast student @gauree_chendke looking at ways to improve the survival of cells in pancreatic encapsulation devices! One day this might help people with type one diabetes manage their disease! Check it out! #T1D

Congratulations to Natalie Wu-Woods on her presentation for the @UCSF summer research training program #srtp@UCSFGradDiv. It was great having you in the @DesaiLabUCSF
This is the future of science!
Today QBI gathered summer interns from the @KroganLab , @DesaiLabUCSF, Verba lab and Gordan lab to highlight their work and potential, and to recognize that our rising generation is worthy of our best efforts.

Let's talk more about this paper! In the pharmaceutical industry, it is common to use in vitro models (human or animal cells in dishes) to get an idea of how drugs will perform in vivo (in a living animal) 1/6
You can read our newest paper in @SciReports! A team led by grad students @karesamy and Liz Levy present a 3D in vitro model of the small intestine that better replicates in vivo conditions and matures faster than conventional 2D models. Take a look! https://t.co/xPKrvFcG82
Also, in collaboration with the Abate lab at @UCSF_BioE, we were able to engineer structures using the caco-2 cells that better matches their behavior in animals, which has not been previously possible 5/6

Yesterday was our annual lab outing, and this year we set sail for Angel Island in the San Francisco Bay! Here are some quick pictures from our outing:
