Hyaluronic Acid/Type I Collagen Hydrogels With Tunable Physicochemical Properties Using Diels–Alder Click Chemistry There is a significant need to design hydrogels with tissue-mimetic, tunable properties. HA-PEG-Col hydrogels are engineered using furan:maleimide Diels–Alder click chemistry to meet this need. Mimic...

New Almeida Lab #paper alert! We explore an innovative #hydrogel using Diels-Alder #bioorthogonalclickchemistry with mechanical properties ~4X those of studies using similar materials!

Women In STEM: Celebrating Women Who Lead: International Women’s Day at Clarkson University Blog at Clarkson University Clarkson University celebrates International Women’s Day. Highlighting Women in STEM. Clarkson women are making an impact daily.

This #InternationalWomensDay, my graduate student and I had the opportunity of being featured among many other impressive #WomenInSTEM. This year, I encourage all young women to continue pursuing their dreams, and I encourage everybody to #StandUpForScience.

The Almeida Lab is #hiring a #PhD student with research interests in #biomaterials and #stemcells for #Fall2025! Please share with any interested students!

#BME #biomedicalengineering #chemicalengineering

3.25 years as a lab! Over the last 12 months:
6 conference presentations (All)
5 invited presentations and lectures (PI)
4 student research awards
2 publications
2 honors and awards (PI)
1 patent application
1 course-based MS graduated
1 undergraduate graduated
+teaching/service!

As we wrap up another year, it is time again to reflect on the group's progress. It is always easy to think of the failures, so let's end the year on our successes! (Details in thread)

Happy Holidays from the Almeida Lab!

Matrix Stiffness and Viscoelasticity Influence Human Mesenchymal Stem Cell Immunomodulation Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) have immense wound healing potential due to their immunomodulatory behavior. To control this behavior and reduce …

New #paper alert! In this study, we examined the synergistic effects of matrix stiffness and viscoelasticity on human mesenchymal stem cell immunomodulation potential - check out the paper for the answer!
