Brendan wins ACS award!
Dr. Harley has been awarded the American Cancer Society’s (Illinois Division) 2011 President’s Award for Research. This award recognizes the Harley Lab’s commitment to research and volunteer activities to support the American Cancer Society’s goal to change the face of cancer treatment. Congratulations to all who have played a role in this research program.
Welcome Laura
The Harley Lab welcomes a new graduate student – Laura Mozdzen. Further congratulations for her selection as a CMMB IGERT fellow for 2011 – 2013!
Harley Lab receives NSF support
The Harley Lab (in collaboration with Dr. Ryan Bailey’s group, UIUC Chemistry) has been awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation (Biomaterials Program). Work funded by this award will develop benzophenone-based photopatterning approaches to create biomolecularly patterned collagen scaffolds for a range of tissue engineering applications.
