Congratulations to Aaron for publishing his first-author review in Photochemistry and Photobiology! In the review, he explored bioengineering approaches that leverage PDT to target cellular and non-cellular components of the tumor microenvironment, as well as molecular targets on tumor and tumor-associated cells. Particular emphasis was placed on the effects of PDT on the mechanical stress components of the tumor microenvironment, which typically play a role in disease progression. The article is titled, “Photodynamic Therapy and the Biophysics of the Tumor Microenvironment.”Shruti Vig has been awarded the MPower Graduate Fellowship under the supervision of Drs. Huang Chiao (Joe) Huang and Graeme F. Woodworth for work on Sonodynamic Opening of the Blood-Brain Tumor Barrier. Congratulations!Congratulations Yan, Aaron, and Barry! In their research article, they investigated the cytotoxic and molecular interplay between benzoporphyrin derivative (BPD) dark toxicity and the commonly used chemotherapies, Cisplatin and Paclitaxel. The paper, titled “Harnessing the Potential Synergistic Interplay Between Photosensitizer Dark Toxicity and Chemotherapy,” was accepted for publication in Photochemistry and Photobiology. |
