Had a great week at the polymers GRC where 2nd year grad student Graham presented his work on polymers for internal radiation therapy (supported by @KStateCancerRes ). So much great science, especially from all the amazing graduate students! The future is bright 🤩
Very excited to collaborate on this project and grateful for the fellowship support from BioPACIFIC MIP! Automated synthesis is really pushing the boundaries and opening completely new possibilities 🤩
CAPS Fellowships Spotlight!
Collab from @KState & @Penn_State is exploring hydrogel-forming copolymers using RAFT photoiniferter polymerization🧪
✅ @Chemspeed automation for fast triblock synthesis
✅ Microrheology to assess viscoelasticity
✅ Hands-on student training
