Nahal Habibi defended her PhD dissertation entitled “Engineered Nanoparticle Systems to Overcome Biological Barriers for Nanomedicine” on September 9, 2021. She has been instrumental in developing our lab’s protein nanoparticle technology and has recently accepted a job as a scientist in the Delivery and Formulation Sciences division at Laronde in Boston.
Ayse Muniz defended her PhD dissertation entitled “Engineering Complex Biological Systems via Extracellular Niche Biomimicry” on June 2, 2021. Ayse pioneered the use of data science and machine learning to advance our research group’s understanding of how polymeric scaffolds recapitulate the biology of the extracellular matrix. She is currently working as an associate at Flagship Pioneering in Boston.
Congratulations Dr. Muniz and Dr. Habibi! We are so proud of your accomplishments and will miss you dearly.
