Aniela Nozka, a third-year chemical engineering Ph.D. student, earned a UF Health Cancer Institute award for developing a novel approach to heat-based cancer treatment. Her research uses magnetic particle imaging and 3D-printed models to improve patient-specific dosing, aiming to target tumors more precisely while minimizing harm to healthy tissue.

Dear members and friends of the UF chemical engineering community,   It’s Spring graduation time and we are thrilled about the successes of our students and faculty this semester. Once again, many of our students graduated with honors in Spring 2025. This is just the beginning of their new journey, and we wish them all […]

Dear Friends, As we reflect on the past few months, we are excited to share several highlights from our department in this latest edition of our newsletter.  In October, a group of our students traveled to San Diego to attend the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) conference, where they brought home several prestigious awards, […]

American Association for the Advancement of Science honors 19 UF faculty as Lifetime Fellows The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the world’s largest general scientific society and publisher of the Science family of journals, has elected 19 faculty from the University of Florida to its newest class, breaking previous records for the […]

Dear alumni, friends, and members of the UF ChE community, We are delighted to share some of the news and events from this past semester and celebrate the incredible work we have done. Three faculty members received $5.46 million in NIH Maximizing Investigator’s Research Awards (MIRA) research grants. Carl Denard, Ph.D., an assistant professor will investigate enzymes […]

A University of Florida chemical and biomedical engineering researcher has received three grants that will use a novel type of imaging to advance research on cancer immunotherapy treatment and brain injury. The studies aim to provide researchers and clinicians with key insight into how patients with cancers such as refractory brain tumors respond to immunotherapy […]

Dear Colleagues, Alumni, and Friends, I hope this message finds you and your loved ones well. Over recent months we saw vaccination numbers rise and COVID-19 infection rates declining, providing hope for recovery. As such, our efforts have been dedicated to reengaging with our students, faculty and staff and finding meaningful ways to connect with our community. We are happy to share […]

The application of nanoparticles as diagnostic and therapeutic agents has been of great interest over the last few decades. Understanding the diffusion of nanoparticles in biological environments is critical in their design and eventual clinical application. However, there is incomplete understanding of nanoparticle diffusion in synovial fluid, the fluid inside the joint, which consists of […]

Dear Colleagues, Alumni, and Friends, After more than a year apart, and with increased rates of vaccination, we are more hopeful than ever for a return to a more engaging on-campus experience and our thoughts turn to rebuilding connections in our community. We are excited to share another edition of our newsletter and celebrate the […]

Researchers at the University of Florida are using colloidally stable nanoparticles and magnetic cryopreservation agents (mCPAs) to extend the preservation time of donor organs. Currently, the preservation time window ranges from 4-36 hours depending on the organ. This time window severely restricts the time for adequate donor-to-recipient matching and the distance over which transplant organs […]

Dear colleagues, alumni, and friends, As we navigate through the uncertainties that this year has brought us, we are happy to share another edition of our newsletter and celebrate the hard-fought departmental wins.  We are astounded at the resilience and innovation of our faculty, students and staff.
