We are thrilled to begin work with our colleagues on this project, titled, " TRAILBLAZER: Bringing the Solid State to Life with Cell Crystals to Transform Biosensing in Environmental, Health Care, and National Security Applications." In this work, we will integrate programmed cell communication with cell positioning on lattices to drive the emergence of spatiotemporally patterned and highly controlled collective biological states. Solid state devices have transformed life on

In collaboration between the Schmittgen and Angelini labs, we demonstrated how to use embedded 3D droplet printing to isolate individual...

A note from Tommy: I recently began asking myself what I wanted to get out of the rest of my career. The one thought I kept coming back to was that I wanted to fulfill the dream I had when I was a student: becoming a physics professor . So I chose to pursue that dream again! I've had a great time over the last 15 years as a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering , and I look forward to the next 15 years or more as a professor of physics , immersed among my new coll

Steven Chisolm's recent work on MDCK monolayers shows that cells don't just slow each other down as they become crowded. In the...

Senthil Duraivel published the first Science paper ever from the Angelini lab. His manuscript describes a groundbreaking new method for...

Vignesh Subramaniam recently published a manuscript in Giant on a new biocomposite material that can be shaped like a soft, wet version...
