We are thrilled to celebrate Cynthia Anderson for earning Second Prize in the Undergraduate Poster Competition at the AIChE Annual Student Conference, held in Boston, MA. Her project, Optimization of Dissolving Microneedles with Gold Nanoparticles for Enhancing Photodynamic Therapy, stood out within the Food, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotechnology Division. This marks Cynthia’s second major award this year, a testament to her exceptional talent and dedication to advancing biomedical innovation.

We couldn’t be prouder of Cynthia and her remarkable achievements! 

We are excited to celebrate Dr. Aisha Mahmood, who earned Second Place and a cash prize in the Poster Presentation category at the 8th Annual Symposium: Cancer Research – Basic Science to Bioinformatics. Her innovative work focuses on advancing photodynamic therapy for melanoma, a promising approach that uses light to activate targeted treatments and improve patient outcomes.

Well done, Aisha! Your dedication and groundbreaking research continue to inspire our Biophotonics team. 

We are proud to celebrate Iago Carvalho for winning the Poster Presentation Award at the Graduate Research Symposium! His research focuses on developing an innovative treatment for cutaneous melanoma using sonophotodynamic therapy, a cutting-edge approach that combines light and ultrasound to enhance therapeutic outcomes. This achievement reflects Iago’s dedication to advancing cancer treatment and the pioneering spirit of our Biophotonics Lab.

We are thrilled to celebrate Cynthia Anderson for winning the Best Undergraduate Poster Award at the 12th Annual Graduate Research Symposium, held on April 3rd at Texas A&M University. Her research focuses on improving drug delivery using microneedles, a promising approach to enhance precision and patient comfort in therapeutic applications. Cynthia’s achievement demonstrates the innovation and dedication that define our Biophotonics team.
