The Hettiaratchi Lab is a new bioengineering research group in the University of Oregon’s Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact.
We are actively recruiting enthusiastic scientists and engineers to join our team!
We combine expertise in chemical and biomedical engineering to design biomaterials to control protein delivery to injured tissues.
@Dr_M_Rizwan @JonDorogin @BioMaterSci Thanks Rizwan!!...
Very proud of @JonDorogin on his first first-author paper!! 🎉This is the first review paper from the Hettiaratchi Lab! Check it out in the @BioMaterSci Emerging Investigators Special Issue 👇 ...
@GiersLab @OregonState @UOKnightCampus @kaitlin_fogg @guldberg_bob Yes!! @JonDorogin and the rest of the first cohort have thrown this idea around! 😂...
@VictoriaGMuir @BurdickLab @ACSChemRev @pennbioeng Congrats!! Great review - We'll be reading this in my biomaterials class!...
The Hettiaratchi lab is officially 1 year old! We welcome rotation students Andres Guerrero and Wyatt Parks from the department of chemistry and biochemistry to the lab!
Graduate student Jonathan Dorogin is featured on the website for the new UO-OSU Bioengineering Graduate Program.
September was a busy month for the Hettiaratchi lab! We welcome graduate student Jonathan Dorogin, rotating graduate student John O’Hara-Smith, and undergraduate student Henry Hochstatter. We also moved into the new Knight Campus building!
Congratulations to Ireland Johnson and her mentor Annie Gilbert for winning the Peter O’Day Fellowship in Biological Sciences! Ireland’s project will focus on improving the versatility of demineralized bone matrix as a treatment for bone injury.
The Hettiaratchi Lab receives a grant from the Collins Medical Trust to develop a biomaterial strategy to improve protein delivery to large bone fractures.
We welcome rotation student, Dillon Willis, from the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, and undergraduates, Branden Henry, Hons Rajabzadeh, and Ireland Johnson to the lab!
The lab officially opens its doors!
The Hettiaratchi Lab receives a UO-OHSU Collaborative Seed Grant to develop vascularized and innervated bone grafts with Dr. Luiz Bertassoni. We’re looking forward to starting this collaboration!
Our new paper on heparin-based biomaterials for protein delivery to repair large bone defects in rats is out in Science Advances. Check out the story in Around the O!
