Did you know that the mere presence of drug-releasing particles in 3D printed scaffolds affects the degradation of the material?! We didn't! If you want to know more, you can find the paper here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ma…
So impressed that Maria did this work as an undergrad! And fantastic work on Alejandro's side with mentorship, data analysis and writing the paper. So proud of you both.
Kicking off 2025 with a paper published! This collab btw @DrWillerth & @TheElviraLab explores atRA’s effect on smart bioinks. Proud to share co-first authorship with Maria Hangad, my undergrad mentee during my PhD at @chemistryatuvic. Full paper below👇 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ma…
Are you a grad student or postdoc? The deadline to apply for an oral presentation at the Gordon Research Seminar is coming up soon (23 Feb). @DavidIssadore is the invited speaker for the GRS - join us! Submit here: grc.org/physics-and-ch…

Excited to co-chair the @GordonConf on #microfluidics this June in Italy with @TheElviraLab & GRS co-chairs @MiguelAXavier & @AmandaJHaack. We have an amazing list of speakers like Shannon Stott & more - check it out & apply! grc.org/physics-and-ch… tinyurl.com/jpy5ed6e
Are you an early career PI in #microfluidics with exciting new research? We have a few speaker slots left at next year's @GordonConf on Microfluidics! Please DM me if you have a story (ideally unpublished) you would like to share! grc.org/physics-and-ch…
We're hiring! If you want to learn to make microfluidic devices and artificial cells (no prior experience needed), come join us in Beautiful British Columbia! More info here: web.uvic.ca/~kelvira/

Apply now -- Excited to co-chair the GRS with @MiguelAXavier, while @TheElviraLab & @fordycelab lead an amazing @GordonConf on #microfluidics this June in Italy! Thrilled for talks from incredible speakers like Ayọ̀kúnlé Ọlánrewájú and more! 🎉 grc.org/physics-and-ch……
APPLY now for the @GordonConf on #Microfluidics (& GRS for postdocs & grad students) before we fill up! Dr Amy Herr (@UCBerkeley) is our highlighted speaker this week. GRS application: bit.ly/4fEkrN2 GRC application: bit.ly/4fLIb1N @fordycelab @MiguelAXavier

One of my favourite conferences for networking because it is designed for discussing science - applications now open. @GordonConf
🌍Join us at the 2025 GRS&GRC on Physics & Chemistry of Microfluidics! GRS: May 31–June 1 | GRC: June 1–6 🔗GRS: lnkd.in/gTmdgF_d 🔗GRC: lnkd.in/g7mTu6Ff First speaker: Dr. J. West on droplet microfluidics for cellular screening. Don’t miss it! #GRC #Microfluidics
I finally get to give a(nother) seminar to my department! Strange to think that the last time I did this, I was a postdoc interviewing for an Assistant Professorship!
Next week we have our very own Dr. Katherine Elvira giving a talk titled " Building Customisable Artificial Cells on a Chip for Drug Discovery and Other Applications". She will be giving her seminar talk in ECS 116 at 11:30 am Thursday October 24th!
What a fantastic week last week at @MicroTas2024 . Great to see you again @MahshidLab and @jac_linnes and many, many more awesome friends!
I had the most amazing time with old friends and colleagues at @MicroTas2024 until next year! @Mahla_Poudineh @TheElviraLab @TohidDidar @MahshidSahar @jac_linnes
I love having guest lectures from industry on my course. We never pre-plan the content but they always talk about key analytical chemistry concepts that we have covered in class and how they use them in the real world!!
Sharing insights on analytical chemistry and its role in medical device design, Nick Allan gave a lecture to @UBC students in the CHEM 212 course. @TheElviraLab #medicaldevices #analyticalchemistry #biotechnology
