Adele and Evan’s Research Featured on the Cover of ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering
This month, ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering recognized the work of Adele, Evan and their collaborators by selecting their latest paper as the journal’s cover article.
The study, entitled “3D Printed Biosponge Adsorbers for Capturing Toxic Chemotherapy Drugs In Situ in the Body” has been featured on the cover of ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering.
Being selected for a cover feature highlights the impact of this work across the biomedical separations, polymer science and engineering communities.
Cancer treatment is often limited by the harmful side effects of chemotherapy on healthy organs. We developed a 3D-printed “biosponge” device that captures excess chemotherapy drugs in the bloodstream before they can damage the heart and kidneys, significantly reducing drug buildup in these organs in a liver cancer model. This approach offers a promising way to make chemotherapy safer and potentially allow more effective, targeted treatment for patients.
We are incredibly proud of Adele and Evan and the entire team for their dedication and outstanding work. From thoughtful experimental design to rigorous data analysis, their collaboration across disciplines highlights the integrative and innovative approach that defines our lab. This cover recognition highlights both the strength of the science and the commitment behind it. Congratulations to everyone involved.
About our work
We design and create high-performance membranes that enable unprecedented separation opportunities. We pursue fundamental breakthroughs that translate into real-world applications, always seeking to bridge the microscopic understanding of materials with macroscopic performance. Our goal is to make separations systems cleaner, stronger, and more sustainable.
About the Oh Lab
At the Oh Lab, we are dedicated to advancing the world’s most important, but challenging, separations in the environment, energy, and health sector. We do this by focusing on the molecular-to-macroscopic design and characterization of polymer membranes. We work at the intersection of chemical engineering, materials science, and molecular transport, focusing on designing advanced polymer membranes for efficient chemical separation.
