Very excited to share that I will be joining @RiceUniversity as an assistant professor in @RiceNeuro and @RiceMSNE, starting July 2024 ! My lab will focus on building Cellular and Tissue Bioelectronic Interfaces, and designing/processing materials to further human health.
@RiceNeuro is thrilled to welcome Christina Tringides (@cm_tringides) to the NEI! Christina will join us in 2024 as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Material Science and Nanoengineering and will be a core faculty member of the Rice Neuroengineering Initiative.! 🎉
Years ago, I brought the idea to @MCapogrosso and @DrRFriedlander that SCS could restore function in neurodegen. disease. We did a study to find out. Today, it’s published! Congrats to the team & deep gratitude to the patients. nature.com/articles/s4159…
One more postdoctoral position is available in my lab at Houston Methodist, focusing on neurorestoration and neural interfaces for the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.

Join us this fall for a Cold Spring Harbor Lab meeting (Sept 28 - Oct 1, 2025) on "Bioengineered Tissue Systems & Models" on Long Island, New York. Co-organized by myself, my advisor Gordana Vunjak-Novakovic @GVNlab & collaborator Mirjana Maletic-Savatic: meetings.cshl.edu/meetings.aspx?…
As part of Brain Tumor Awareness Month, "Meeting of the Minds" is focusing on advancements in areas of brain cancer research, showcasing the many promises that are on the horizon @MDAndersonNews, @RiceNeuro, and @UTHealthHouston. Register here: bit.ly/43t5Pgm #GrayMay
👀A short feature on @RiceNeuro and @CPRITTexas investigator Christina Tringides and her work applying hydrogel-based electrodes to improve outcomes during complex brain cancer surgeries is in the Spring issue of @RiceUniversity Magazine 👀 magazine.rice.edu/spring-2025/be…
Big thanks to @AANmember and @zach_london for working together with me to produce this easy-to-understand video showing how a single ultrasound session could one day lead to long-term brain therapy. Condensed into high-yield 3 minutes. learning.aan.com/courses/101683
Rice Biotech Launch Pad and RBL LLC launch Rice Venture Creation Fellowship @RiceUniversity @RiceLaunchPad! Great opportunity for postdocs who want to innovate healthcare! news.rice.edu/news/2025/rice…
an incredible program, unique to Rice ! any postdoc looking to make an impact in the health space should make note..!

NIH has stopped considering new grant applications, delaying decisions about how to spend millions of dollars. The freeze occurred because the Trump administration has blocked the NIH… npr.org/sections/shots…
Fantastic opportunity with a fantastic PI!
We are starting our @ARIA_research Precision Neurotechnologies project and have two postdoc positions in neuroscience and bioengineering. This funding is independent of US government. Jobs: emdz.fa.us2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…… More info: tinyurl.com/hwsnrwpe -- please RT --
A fabulous talk by the fabulous @KaraLMarshall was exactly what was needed to turn around this stressful week 🎉🎉
We have two open postdoc positions, focused on molecular engineering, viral vector development, and a large animal focused ultrasound. It's a 4-year long, UK gov funded study. We will be looking at the candidates in mid-late February. please RT. emdz.fa.us2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…
beautiful new review by a fellow Mooniac!!! a must read!
Our review on living medicine delivery is now out in @NatRevMater, written in collaboration with @WeihungJ! We outline how synthetic biology and materials science can synergize to develop a new generation of living therapeutics nature.com/articles/s4157…
Very excited to share our lab's latest work exploring the shared and divergent aspects of human astrocyte development and glioblastoma. This effort spans many fields from developmental glial biology to stem cells and tumor biology. rdcu.be/d5ADz A 🧵(also come to 🦋!)
Researchers, including @RiceNeuro investigator @cm_tringides, publish a review on the growing research in PEDOT-based conductive hydrogels, demonstrating their promise in healthcare applications and energy production while making future recommendations. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…
Great way to start the new year: our work on tunable bicontinuous macroporous hydrogels via kinetically controlled phase separation was just published in Advanced Materials onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…
qPCR can measure expression of virtually any gene... in homogenized tissues. Here, we show an "in-vivo qPCR" equivalent, where we measure a sequence-specific transcript with synthetic serum markers and enzyme-based signal amplification. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Decked out in @RiceNeuro gear, and lucky to have the best colleague to navigate this new-PI journey @scotttomkeene. Thanks, Rice, for letting me manifest my backpack vision !!
