The fall 2022 semester has come and gone, with lots of exciting news for the Fromen lab!
First up, congratulations to Kartik and the team for their recent publication in Advanced Materials Technologies entitled “Cell therapy biomanufacturing: uniting biomaterial and flow-based membrane technologies for production of engineered T-cells”.
Congratulations next to Emily and the team for their recent publication in Computers in Biology and Medicine entitled “Spatial aerosol deposition correlated to anatomic feature development in 6-year-old upper airway computational models”. Check it out here!
And finally, congratulations also to Emma and the team for their recent publication in Frontiers of Chemical Engineering entitled “Nebulization of Model Hydrogel Nanoparticles to Macrophages at the Air-Liquid Interface”. We were excited to submit this article to the feature issue on Women in Engineering, with authorship contributions from Emma, Emily, Jody, Joaquina, and Cathy! (And Yinkui as well…).
Congrats to the team on these great publications!
Congrats to Prof Fromen for giving a podium presentation at the annual Drug Delivery to the Lungs congress this past December! It was a great opportunity to present alongside other leaders in the Inhalation field and share the amazing work led by Ian Woodward to develop a new lung model.
The Fromen lab was also busy with many conference presentations this fall.
We represented at BMES in San Antonio with talks from:
- Kartik – Probing Synergistic Effect of Substrate Stiffness and Profibrotic Soluble Cues on Macrophage Response
- Cathy – Inhalable Aluminum-based Metal Organic Framework Nanoparticles as Humoral Pulmonary Adjuvants
And also were busy at AIChE in Houston with talks from:
- Ian – Understanding multiphase behavior of additively manufactured lattices: Developing in vitro tools for personalized inhalable medicine
- Ian – Directionally dependent fluid behavior from uniform periodic structures: Influence of design and additive process parameters
- Kartik – Combining Tunable Biomaterials and Flow-Based Membrane Technologies for Improved Biomanufacturing of T Cell Therapies
- Emily – Computational Fluid Particle Dynamics Illuminates Developmental Anatomical Feature Influence on Aerosol Deposition Patterns in 6-Year-Old Upper Airway CT-Scan Models
And a poster from:
- Saurav – Effects of Patient Age on Simulated Aerosol Particle Deposition in the Upper Airways of Pediatric Patients
Congrats to the whole team for their excellent presentatinos and a special congratulations to Kartik for winning Third place for his talk in the Graduate Student Award in the Biomaterials Division!
We had a lot of fun travelling and sharing our work with the BME and ChemE communities!

This fall semester also saw the Fromen lab grow with the addition of four new PhD students! We welcome Saiful Roslan and Spencer Wolfe, as well as Jodi Graf and Eric Slaughter who will be co-advised with Prof April Kloxin. Welcome!
To celebrate our new students and the end of the semester, the whole Fromen lab gathered in December for a fun outing of bowling, pizza, laser tag, and arcade games! It was wonderful to have fun together and kick off a relaxing winter break.
We are excited for what is to come in 2023 and wish you all happy holidays and a very happy new year!
