Daniela studies opportunities of innovation resulting from the interconnection of multiple technologies in healthcare.
Making wrinkles - hydrogels that collapse into complex shapes may aid in drug deliveryMay 19, 2012
The flexible properties of hydrogels — highly absorbent, gelatinous polymers that shrink and expand depending on environmental conditions such as humidity, pH and temperature — have made them ideal for applications from contact lenses to baby diapers and adhesives. In recent years, researchers have investigated hydrogels' potential in drug delivery, engineering them into drug-carrying vehicles that rupture when exposed to certain environmental stimuli. Such vesicles may slowly release their contents in a controlled fashion; they may even contain more than one type of drug, released at different times or under various conditions. However, it's difficult to predict just how hydrogels will rupture, and up until now it's been difficult to control the shape into which a hydrogel morphs. Nick Fang, an associate professor of mechanical engineering at MIT, says predicting how hydrogels transform could help in the design of more complex and effective drug-delivery systems.

Dr. Robert Langer - Biomaterials and How They Will Change Our LivesMay 20, 2012
Dr. Robert Langer's talk is the inaugural keynote for a new Invitrogen-UC San Diego Frontiers in Biotechnology Distinguished Seminar Series, organized by the Jacobs School of Engineering and sponsored by Invitrogen. Advances in drug delivery and tissue engineering are revolutionizing medical therapies. New drug delivery technologies including novel polymers and intelligent microchips promise to create new treatments for cancer, heart disease and many other illnesses. Furthermore, by combining mammalian cells with synthetic polymers, new approaches for engineering tissues are being developed that may someday help repair tissues for patients with burns, damaged cartilage, paralysis and vascular disease.
