Congratulation to Hifza for receiving the Best Poster Award at the 2018 Nanomedicines Symposium!

Congratulations to Karan Malhotra! He recieved his Master of Science degree this Spring. His research investigated the Detection of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator ΔF508 gene mutation using a paper-based nucleic acid hybridization assay and a smartphone camera.

Alex Escobar and Hamna Fayyaz presented their paper-based research at the 101^st CSC this year in Edmonton, Alberta. The oral presentations included their investigation of fluid flow and sample preparation in cellulose based paper.

William Humphrey (left) and Grace Qu (Right) finished off their CHM489 undergraduate thesis projects with a final poster presentation. William's research consisted of understanding the behavior of cellulose paper with wax barriers under various experimental conditions. Grace utilized UCNPs and AuNPs to develop a paper-based analytical device for Thrombin detection.
