This past Sunday, we were at the @MITMuseum for Nature Driven Design panel and demos. Big thanks to all the organizers and everyone participated. It was fun and rewarding to showcase our research and we got many good questions and discussions.

Big news! We are receiving fundings to purchase a new instrument to study assembly process of biopolymers in situ and to design environmentally responsive materials. We are thankful to the sponser ONR for their support! Many thanks to everyone contributed. https://t.co/HY4UJqlUgX

Benedetto Marelli develops silk-based technologies for helping crops grow, preserving perishable foods, and more. “Knowing that the technology can move the needle in crises such as food waste is the highest reward of all,” he says. https://t.co/u1Prs4KG4A

Welcome on board! We are excited to have you here, and support you and be part of what you will achieve!

Great start for the symposium on #Engineering #Food #Materials at #F23MRS meeting in Boston with a mind blowing talk by @benmarelli on the ongoing research at @MarelliLab

[Marelli Lab @MarelliLab]

This morning at #F23MRS Dr. Yue Hu @YueHu0903 shared her work and experience of collaborating with researchers from different backgrounds.

@MaximengLi On Wednesday morning at 10:30 AM at symposium SB01.04, we have back-to-back talks from our SMART program group members Dr. Yangyang Han and Dr. Raju Cheerlavancha to talk about 1) using silk food packaging to extend shelf-life and 2) developing plant nanosensors.

[Marelli Lab @MarelliLab]

This week at #F23MRS our group members will present various talks and posters, to show how we use biopolymers to secure good supplies, improve food safety, and reduce food waste. #biopolymers #foodsafety

Tuesday night again, Dr. Meng Li @MaximengLi will present her work on designing silk microneedles with preserved mechanical strength underwater in order to deliver payload to fish in an aquaculture environment.

It was a success at the Cambridge Science Festival, showing the public what biomaterials can do to secure food supply, replace micro plastics and be made into beautiful bio inspired optics. It was fun and rewarding! @MITMuseum @MarelliLab
