In our latest paper, “Electrosprayed Myocet-like Liposomes: An Alternative to Traditional Liposome Production” The Ainslie Lab reports a new one-step method to fabricate and remote load doxorubicin loaded liposomes. This method significantly simplifies the current manufacturing of these formulations. http://rdcu.be/m4Ym

Dr. Ainslie will be discussing nanotechnology Friday, December 30 at 5:30 PM – 9 PM as part of the Fantastic Voyage – Final Friday! at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. https://www.facebook.com/events/1744030149146406/

The Ainslie Lab had a surprise birthday party for Dr. Eric Bachelder to celebrate his 40th Birthday.

Acetalated dextran (Ac-DEX) microparticles encapsulating different fluorophores. Particles were fabricated via electrospray and lyophilized into a dry powder.

Our latest paper explores the use of electrospray to generate a microparticle based anthrax vaccine that is more scalable and less-denaturing of the protein antigen than traditional encapsulation techniques. With this new method, we show significantly better protection from Anthrax … Read more
