City of Hope co-led the first study to demonstrate that characterizing genetic material near chromosomes forecasts how mutated, cancer-causing genes reengineer DNA and alter the tumor microenvironment. The leading-edge brain cancer research published in Nature Communications was spearheaded by Dr. David Craig and provides foundational knowledge that one day will improve the practice of precision medicine and allow oncologists to deliver more personalized therapies to cancer patients. 

A research team has developed a microbubble-based nano-gene delivery platform (BTN MB) that precisely delivers gene suppressors into bacteria to effectively remove biofilms formed by the super bacteria Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)

Virginia Tech researchers have created an engineered model of the supportive tissue found within a lymph node to study human health. Working with scientists at the University of Virginia, the researchers are building a bioengineered model of a human lymph node, which performs essential roles in the immune system throughout the body.
