It's been a great few weeks for the PRIME lab. Excited to continue a long thread in chronic wounds from my PhD and very thankful for the support of @NIH!

An article by U-M BME PhD candidate Mary Dickenson and Aaron Morris, Assistant Professor, Biomedical Engineering, with Robert Oakes, Assistant Professor, U. of Delaware, highlights a shift in how scientists view the body’s foreign body response. Read: https://t.co/RtixCnOt1k

Typically the FBR is viewed as a problematic response to implantable devices. Yet recent work by our group and many others has shown that it can be harnessed for a variety of useful ends. We hope this reframing will inspire others to join this exciting area.

Excited to share our recent review paper in collaboration with @SmittyOakes. https://t.co/4LboHWBYKV.
We discuss a growing body of work that seeks to leverage the foreign body response (FBR) to implanted materials for good. @UMBME @udbme

Special thanks to our collaborator @AndresMnzRjs for the help on this project and to @NIBIBgov and @UMengineering for the funding to conduct this work! @UMBME

[Aaron Morris @MorrisBioEng]

Excited to share the first paper led by my group and fully conducted in our lab: https://t.co/ZB0XbK1TqQ
@_Sydney_Wheeler developed new approaches for enriching antigen-specific T-cells in vivo. Current methods are limited by the rarity of these cells and require expansion.

[Aaron Morris @MorrisBioEng]

I'm so proud of @_Sydney_Wheeler for working tirelessly to get this finished and the rest of the team! It's amazing to see it in the world, but also highlights just how long science takes. Sydney started this project simultaneously with the start of the lab in 2022

[Aaron Morris @MorrisBioEng]

Congratulations on this awesome story finally out in @nchembio from @TheLeonardLab! I'm thrilled to have played even a small role in this exciting work. @HaileyEdelstein and @amparo_cosio, nice job on a really impressive study.

[Josh Leonard @TheLeonardLab]

How can we combine the exquisite function of natural receptors with the programmability of synthetic biology? Check out this exciting new story led by @HaileyEdelstein and @amparo_cosio out today in @nchembio

Check out the TED Radio Hour this week: https://t.co/ytDXu6pF3C . It's a really exciting episode about the future of biotech. I was fortunate to get to talk about some of the exciting work my group is up to at @UMBME @UMengineering . Thanks @manoushz for the feature.

[Aaron Morris @MorrisBioEng]

Congratulations Josh! Well deserved!
