3.6 tons of pads and similar hygiene products end up in U.S. landfills. Johns Hopkins ChemBE's Biofide team won big at Hopstart with their biodegradable incontinence pad, which uses water-soluble polyglutamic acid rather than super absorbent polymer. #DesignDay24 engineering.jhu.edu/news/the-futur…

Design Day was a success! Thank you to everyone who came to #DesignDay24 and congratulations to all our amazing ChemBE student teams!

ChemBE student design team, Lost in the Sauce, has created a prototype of a biodegradable condiment packet that can easily be recycled and could help eliminate the waste generated by today’s single-use packets:

Congrats to Johns Hopkins ChemBE faculty Brandon on receiving an award from Amazon!!! our junior faculty are rocking! amazon.science/research-award…

Last Friday, ChemBE students came together for a memorable convocation, filled with dinner and a celebration of their accomplishments as they gear up for graduation! Congratulations to all our students and thank you to everyone who helped make this event possible!

Methane-filled cow burps (and farts) account for up to 2% of greenhouse gases emitted in the U.S. One #DesignDay24 team from Johns Hopkins ChemBE is conceptualizing a feed additive w/bromoform to inhibit methane production and forgo the fermentation. engineering.jhu.edu/news/burp-bust…

An estimated 3.6 tons of pads and similar hygiene products end up in U.S. landfills. ChemBE team Biofide is trying to stop this with biodegradable incontinence pads. Learn more about one of the winners of HopStart 2024! engineering.jhu.edu/chembe/news/th…

Ever had a strep test? Not fun. What if you could skip the throat swab and test from the comfort of home? That's the idea behind StrepCheck, a #DesignDay24 project from a team of Johns Hopkins ChemBE students. Just sip, spit, and scan. engineering.jhu.edu/news/at-home-s…

Cancer mechanobiology of EVs.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) produced by breast cancer cells placed on soft vs. stiff matrix have different protein cargo and differential homing ability to different organs in mice.

We engineered hyper-migration into CART cells to dramatically enhance their infiltration into solid tumors.

We tested this strategy for ovarian, lung, and pancreatic cancer.

The contrast with control CAR T cells is ....you decide.

Congratulations to all the students who presented at MSE Day on Friday! Students presented their culminating research and essay as part of their research-track degree program. Thank you to everyone who came and supported this accomplishment!

The AIChE JHU Student Chapter had a successful weekend at the 2024 AIChE Mid-Atlantic Regional Conference at UMBC! Congratulations to all of our students for their hard work and accomplishments!

We loved seeing everyone who stopped by our table at the alumni weekend department showcase this past Friday! It was great to catch up with some ChemBE alumni and talk about what is currently going on in the department. Hope to see everyone again soon!
