Soon, drug delivery that precisely targets cancerous cells without exposing the healthy surrounding tissue to the medication’s toxic effects will no longer be an oncologist’s dream but a medical reality, thanks to the work of Professor Sylvain Martel, Director of the Nanorobotics Laboratory at Polytechnique Montréal.
Known for being the world’s first researcher to have guided a magnetic sphere through a living artery, Professor Martel is announcing a new breakthrough in the field of nanomedicine. Using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, his team successfully guided
microcarriers loaded with a dose of
anti-cancer drug through the bloodstream of a living rabbit, right up to a targeted area in the liver, where the drug was successfully administered. This is a medical first that will help improve chemoembolization, a current treatment for liver cancer.

An Introduction to Biomaterials
Buddy D. Ratner
University of Washington Engineered Biomaterials
Biomaterials are materials (synthetic and natural; solid and sometimes liquid) that are used in medical devices or in contact with biological systems. Biomaterials as a field has seen steady growth over its approximately half century of existence and uses ideas from medicine, biology, chemistry, materials science and engineering. There is also a powerful human side to biomaterials that considers ethics, law and the health care delivery system. This brief introduction overviews some key characteristics of the field of biomaterials and outlines issues and major subdivisons.

Researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham’s School of Engineering have created a three-dimensional electrospun scaffold on the nano scale that more effectively and efficiently facilitates cell and tissue growth in the laboratory.
Nanoscaffolds support the adhesion, growth and function of various cell types as they mature into specific tissues such as tendons, muscles and bones during tissue engineering. Yet, the traditional industry method for electrospinning creates densely packed sheet-like structures that prevent cells from penetrating the nanoscaffolds.

Faculty Positions
Department of Bioengineering
Temple University
Temple University’s College of Engineering is forming a new department of Bioengineering and searching for outstanding individuals to occupy faculty positions in the department and college. Department growth will be accommodated in state-of-the-art facilities located in the new research tower immediately adjacent to the present Engineering building. This development is coupled with aggressive hiring in all departments in the College.
Although candidates in all traditional Bioengineering areas are welcome to apply, we are particularly interested in leveraging existing strengths in Engineering, Medicine, and the Basic Sciences. Accordingly, individuals with backgrounds in Cardiovascular research, Regenerative Medicine, Targeted Drug Delivery, and Biomaterials are particularly encouraged to apply.
