Pill for breast cancer diagnosis may outperform mammograms
Assistant Professor Greg Thurber's lab has developed a pill that may more accurately distinguish aggressive tumors from benign, and catch cancers that may have gone undetected.
Consistently ranked among the nation's best chemical engineering departments, the department has risen to 11 in the latest U.S. News & World Report's annual graduate program rankings.

Kathleen F. (MPH '71) and Shyam R. (PhD '73) Suchdeo have established a fund in honor of Jerome S. Schultz, former chair of the Department of Chemical Engineering
Thomas DeJonghe (BSE ChemE '62) made a gift to establish the Thomas G. DeJonghe Chemical Engineering Fund, which will be used to provide need-based support for undergraduate students in the Department of Chemical Engineering.
Precision 3D structures can be built with implantable materials using a new method pioneered by Professor Joerg Lahann's group. This capability could enable better cancer treatments as well as implants using stem cells to create living patches.
Michigan Engineers discuss how to combat antibiotic resistance
Drug-resistant bugs are on the rise and new approaches are needed.
Nick Kotov and
Angela Violi are both working to solve this issue from different angles.
Nanoparticles can limit inflammation by distracting the immune system
A surprise finding by researchers in Professor Lola Eniola-Adefeso's group suggests that an injection of nanoparticles may be able to help fight the immune system when it goes haywire.
