DeSimone and Kelly featured in Nature Nanotechnology Research Highlights: Work by Joseph M. DeSimone, Chancellor's Eminent Professor of Chemistry UNC-CH and William R. Kenan, Jr. Distinguished Professor of Chemical Engineering, NCSU, and Research Assistant Jennifer Y. Kelly using a newly developed PRINT (particle replication in non-wetting templates) process was recently featured in Nature Nanotechnology Research Highlights. The technique, reported in a J. Amer. Chem. Soc. paper (doi: 10.1021/ja8014428 (2008)), generated size and shape controlled nanoparticles of pure insulin, albumin or albumin plus theraputics and shows significant promise for therapeutic drug delivery.

Ramsey Elected Fellow of AIMBE:
J. Michael Ramsey, UNC Minnie N. Goldby Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Professor of Biomedical Engineering, has been elected a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering, AIMBE. According to College of Fellows Chair Nicholas Peppas, Sc.D., the fellows represent some of the most imaginative and distinguished bioengineers in the field. Their contributions have had a major impact in biomedical devices and processes, treatment of diseases, and public policy related to all aspects of bioengineering. Professor Ramsey was cited in particular for his pioneering efforts in the development and commercialization of lab-on-a-chip devices for drug discovery, healthcare and environmental monitoring.
