Simon Kalmus, an alumnus of the Chemical and Biological Engineering Department, is working with Brian DeDecker, a teaching associate professor in the Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, and ’s iGEM (International Genetically Engineered Machine) student research team to develop a way to engineer soybeans that produce scarce ingredients for cancer drugs, vaccines and infant formula—while going easy on the planet.
Chemical and Biological Engineering PhD student Max Yavitt is the lead author on a new paper in Science Advances that focuses on human intestinal tissue research. The work could allow researchers to control the shape of intestinal tissue cultured outside of the body – allowing for better study of physical changes due to injury or illness.
