Research led by Assistant Professor Ankur Gupta used AI to solve a decades-old fluid mechanics problem in weeks, revealing that a nanoparticle's overall shape, not its surface texture, determines how it moves in an electric field. The finding could help scientists design nanoparticles for targeted drug delivery and medical diagnostics.- Associate Professor Wyatt Shields received an Army Research Office Young Investigator award to develop programmable microscopic robots inspired by protein folding.

A ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ÆÆ½â°æÏÂÔØ-led team has developed a suite of new therapies aimed at reversing osteoarthritis in a single injection. With animal studies showing promise and funding from the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health extended, the team could be ready for human trials by 2028. Professor Stephanie Bryant is the principal investigator of the project.
Distinguished Professor Kristi Anseth has received theÌýBiomaterials Global Impact Award, which recognizes distinguished research and development accomplishments in the field of biomaterials. Anseth is known for developing tissue substitutes that improve treatments for conditions like broken bones and heart valve disease.
ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ÆÆ½â°æÏÂÔØ researchers and partners at MIT, Harvard and Columbia are working to recreate the human liver’s complex structure in the lab. With support from a $25 million ARPA-H grant, the team aims to develop 3D-printed, transplantable liver tissue made from human cells that the body won’t reject. Professor Jason Burdick's lab at CU’s BioFrontiers Institute will lead the 3D printing component of the project.
A new light-controlled hydrogel developed at ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ÆÆ½â°æÏÂÔØ mimics the movement and flexibility of real tissue, giving scientists a more realistic way to study cells and disease. The work was recently published in the journal Matter and was directed by Distinguished Professor Kristi Anseth.
