Dr. Park’s study in Bioengineering, titled “Substantial differentiation of human neural stem cells into motor neurons on a biomimetic polyurea (DOI: 10.1002/mabi.201570032)”, was featured as a frontispiece in Macromolecular Bioscience. In this study, graduate student Melissa Laughter in Park’s group created natural protein-like synthetic polyurea, showing great potential for the treatment of central nervous system injury. Macromolecular Bioscience is ranked among the top 10 biomaterials and polymer journals, dealing with the intersection of polymer and materials science with life science and medicine.

Quote of the week

“Seeing how committed CU Denver was to helping me succeed is what ultimately made my decision. Having that level of support—from advisors, faculty, and the department—makes a huge difference. It gives you confidence that you’re in the right place.”

~ Michael Ogbinaka, Current Electrical Engineering Student
