We are extremely excited because this could transform how we monitor immunotherapy response in real time.

In collaboration with Elad Harel Lab here at MSU, we're applying BioSonic imaging to melanoma, using laser-encoded capsid probes with the intent to map immune cells greater than 5mm deep in tumors — this is beyond the reach of biopsies.

Connecting with the people for whom our research is important is a continuing focus of the lab.

[T_NIE Lab @lab_nie]

Dr. Smith recently gave a talk to an audience consisting of people with diabetes, their families, and other interested parties hosted by the local Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF) Chapter.

[T_NIE Lab @lab_nie]

Discussions included insights and the latest research updates on our diabetes projects to more accurately and rapidly identify whether pancreatic islet transplants will be rejected by the body using newly developed imaging methods.

The potential applications in medicine are truly inspiring!​
​We look forward to seeing how this technology evolves and impacts healthcare.

#Nanotechnology #DrugDelivery

[T_NIE Lab @lab_nie]

In one of our latest Journal Club Lab meetings, we discussed groundbreaking research relative to developing ultrafast light-activated polymeric nanomotors designed for intracellular drug delivery.

[T_NIE Lab @lab_nie]

This research is led by Prof. Jan C. M. van Hest and Prof. Jingxin Shao from Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands. These innovative nanomotors promise to revolutionize targeted drug delivery, offering new hope for more effective treatments with fewer side effects.

[T_NIE Lab @lab_nie]

We look forward to the groundbreaking work we can achieve together. Thank you to Dr. Sochol and his team for their insights and enthusiasm. #Nanoscribe #Bioengineering

[T_NIE Lab @lab_nie]

MSU IQ recently installed the world’s most accurate 3D bioprinter, the Nanoscribe Quantum X Bio. Our lab met with Dr. Ryan Sochol from the University of Maryland, College Park. He and his team are experts in 3D printing and also develop protocols for other groups to use.

[T_NIE Lab @lab_nie]

We discussed potential collaborative opportunities, including the innovative design of bio-mimicking micro-chambers. This collaboration holds great promise for developing cutting-edge solutions in the field of cancer metastasis, drug delivery, and other fields.

Huge thanks to the WMIC organizers for this incredible platform! #WMIC2024 #MolecularImaging

[T_NIE Lab @lab_nie]

Recently Dr. Smith presented Dr. Yapei Zhang's work at the World Molecular Imaging Congress (WMIC) 2024 in Montreal. The talk focused on a new imaging and control method to maintain proper drug concentrations – not too high, not too low – just right!

[T_NIE Lab @lab_nie]

It was also a fantastic opportunity to reconnect with leading experts and colleagues in the field, share insights, and discuss the latest advancements in molecular imaging.
