Announcements and Accomplishments

Suh and PharmE3D Labs Win Fellowships for 3D Bioprinting Research

Student pharmacist Johana Suh earned an undergraduate fellowship award for research on 3D bioprinted modeling of the neurodegenerative disease NPC-1, or Niemann-Pick disease type C1. Suh is a second-year Doctor of Pharmacy candidate and an undergraduate researcher in the Pharmaceutical Engineering and 3D Printing (PharmE3D) Labs led by Mo Maniruzzaman, Ph.D.

“I’m so excited that Johana Suh was awarded this highly prestigious accolade that will help expand her important research,” says Dr. Maniruzzaman, an assistant professor in the Division of Molecular Pharmaceutics and Drug Delivery.

Dr. Maria Croyle is Featured in Texas Monthly

Molecular Pharmaceutics and Drug Delivery Professor Maria A. Croyle, Ph.D. received extensive coverage in the March 2021 edition of Texas Monthly regarding her innovative peelable film drug delivery research. Among its many potential applications, Dr. Croyle’s technology could deliver COVID-19 vaccines through a small oral strip, without need for refrigeration or extensive storage and transportation infrastructure.

Dr. Maria Croyle Earns Funding for SARS-CoV-2 Research

Molecular Pharmaceutics and Drug Delivery professor Maria A. Croyle, Ph.D. earned 2021’s David Lehr Research Award from the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (ASPET). Dr. Croyle will receive research funding to investigate novel regulatory mechanisms of drug metabolism in the context of active infection with SARS-CoV-2 and after recovery.
