Congratulations to Dauwe Bulckaen, PhD student in #BiomedicalEngineering (UGent – @UniversitedeLiege), recipient of the Best Poster Prize:
Aerosol dynamics and droplet–tissue interactions during intraperitoneal drug delivery.
A recognition of clear scientific communication and impactful poster.
Optimizing particle shape for confined microchannels can boost transport efficiency.
Prolate or oblate spheroids outperform spheres under certain conditions, guiding designs in microfluidics and targeted delivery.

Tiny droplets, big potential.
Yale scientists studied 5,000 breakups to understand how droplets split under different conditions.
A step forward for microfluidics applications.

A humble droplet can be an immensely useful tool for a number of fields, from medicine to manufacturing. Controlling the size of the droplet, though, is an important—and very tricky—task. With unprecedented precision, a team of researchers determined how droplets break up into smaller ones, at what size, and under what conditions. The results of this study are published in Soft Matter.

This new technology allows doctors to control exactly when and where medicine is released, unlike older methods that sent medicine all over the body.

Microneedles that could revolutionize cancer immunotherapy.
Made from natural polysaccharides, the new microneedles not only deliver drugs but also activate the immune system, paving the way for more effective and less invasive anticancer therapies.

MIT just took a swing at one of the most annoying parts of modern medicine: hours‑long IV antibody infusions.
Their team figured out how to pack antibodies into tiny solid particles—about 100 microns wide—that stay suspended in liquid at ~360 mg/mL. That’s concentrated enough to deliver a full dose in about 2 mL, i.e., a normal subcutaneous injection, not a 100 mL drip.

MIT engineers discovered a way to make solid particles of highly concentrated antibodies, suspended in a solution. The advance represents a major step toward re-formulating antibodies so that they can be injected using a standard syringe.
