Save the Date for a joint Biointerfaces Institute and Michigan Neuroscience Institute Joint Challenge on “Neuroregeneration and Cognition” on October 8 and 9, 2021.

The BioInnovations in Brain Cancer Initiative (BIBC) at the University of Michigan invites applications for a tenure-track position at any level in brain cancer biology and technology research (including, drug/molecular transport/imaging in the brain tissue; translation-focused glioma, epigenetics and/or scRNA-seq research; and non-viral nucleic acid delivery).

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis, but review of applications will begin on October 1, 2021.

The Tuteja lab publishes a new review in Science on liquid-repelling surfaces and coatings.

The tiny, implantable carbon fiber electrode developed jointly by Cindy Chestek and Tim Bruns shows promise as a   long-term brain-computer interface.

Researchers in the Tessier lab found a simple method for identifying nanobodies with drug-like properties suitable for preventing COVID-19 infections, which likely can be used to develop nanobodies against other viruses and disease targets.

Congratulations to James Moon, Sunitha Nagrath, Anna Schwendeman and Anish Tuteja on being promoted to Professor!

Congratulations to the 2020 BI Innovator Award Recipients. BI Innovator awards recognize members of the BI research community who are active participants in the research, innovation and translational ecosystem at BI and making a difference in our community.

The Biosciences-funded BioInnovations in Brain Cancer,  a newly established research cluster at BI, has launched its new website.
