News & Events

Join us on November 9th for a Distinguished Lecture by Dr. Jerrold L. Vitek.

Please join BIBC to hear presentations from Dr. Wajd Al-Holou, MD and Dr. Todd Hollon, MD. They will be discussing their work around brain tumor diagnostics, surgical interventions and treatments.

Developed by the Chestek lab, an electrode array implanted in the brain predicts finger motions in near real time.

Congratulations to Nick Kotov on winning the 2022 Nanoscale Science and Engineering Forum Award from AIChE for his discovery of chiral nanostructures with large amplitude optical activity and establishing chemical principles for their engineering.

Carlos Aguilar receives NSF CAREER Award.

Lola Eniola-Adefeso named new Associate Dean for Graduate & Professional Education (ADGPE) in the College of Engineering

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.

Publications from BI Research Groups in March

Researchers in the Kotov lab are working on biomorphic structural batteries which could provide more energy to robots.
