The Focused Ultrasound Foundation highlighted the collaborative project co-lead by Dr. Fabiilli and Dr. Renny Franceschi on using high intensity focused ultrasound to modulate gene expression.
December 2018
Congratulations to Dr. Alexander Moncion on the acceptance of his paper entitled "Spatiotemporally-controlled transgene expression in hydroxyapatite-fibrin composite scaffolds using high intensity focused ultrasound" to the journal Biomaterials. This paper was a collaboration between Dr. Fabiilli and Dr. Renny Franceschi, at the University of Michigan, and Dr. Nuria Vilaboa and Dr. Francisco Martin-Saavedra from Hospital Universitario La Paz-IdiPAZ and CIBER-BBN in Madrid, Spain.
October 2018
Dr. Xiaoxiao Dong and Dr. Fabiilli attended the 6th International Symposium on Focused Ultrasound in Reston, VA. Dr. Dong presented a poster titled "Control of endothelial network formation via the ultrasound-triggered delivery of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) from acoustically-responsive scaffolds". Dr. Fabiilli gave a talk titled " Non-invasive, spatiotemporal control of transgene expression using hyperthermia generated by high intensity focused ultrasound".
September 2018
Dr. Fabiilli gave an invited talk titled "Acoustically-Responsive Scaffolds: A Method for Spatial/Temporal Control in Tissue Engineering" at the Advances in Contrast Ultrasound - International Bubble Conference in Chicago, IL.
August 2018
Dr. Mitra Aliabouzar joined the lab as a postdoctoral fellow. Dr. Aliabouzar recently completed a PhD in mechanical engineering from George Washington University. Her advisor was Dr. Kausik Sarkar.
Dr. Alexander Moncion's recently accepted publication entitled "Sequential payload release from acoustically-responsive scaffolds using focused ultrasound" was highlighted on the Focused Ultrasound Foundation website.
