April Kloxin is the ACS Division of Polymer Chemistry Researcher of the Month for May 2018.
, assistant professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering and materials science and engineering at the University of Delaware, is the ACS Division of Polymer Chemistry Researcher of the Month for May 2018. Her research group seeks to design dynamic materials, including novel biomaterials, and use them to understand and direct important biological signals in tissue regeneration and disease. Kloxin was also recently featured on the
Susan G. Komen 3-Day Blog for her work addressing the issue of late recurrence for breast cancer survivors. In 2016, she received a Career Catalyst Research Award from the Susan G. Komen Roundation for this work. “My research group is working to develop materials that mimic the body tissues where breast cancer recurrence is likely to occur,” she said in the blog post. “Our team is trying to understand how the environment of these tissues causes dormant breast cancer cells to ‘wake up’, leading to recurrence.”
