The Fromen lab had a great summer and we are all ready for Fall 2024! Here’s a quick recap of our summer successess:

Congrats to the Fromen lab team members for their hard work on these awesome publications accepted this summer! Check them out below:

Age-Dependent Changes in Phagocytic Activity: in vivo Response of Mouse Pulmonary Antigen Presenting Cells to Direct Lung Delivery of Charged PEGDA Nanoparticles. J Nanobiotechnology

Experimental Full-volume Airway Approximation for Assessing Breath-dependent Regional Aerosol Deposition. Device

Our lab was fortunate to host some fantastic undergraduate students, who worked on a diverse range of projects and started some new collaborations. Thank you for all of your hard work and contributing to a wonderful summer! Thy did a fantastic job representing the lab at the Undergraduate Summer Research Symposium:
