Soooo proud to be a PhRMA Foundation awardee. My group has been hard at working developing what we hope will be the next generation of lipid nanoparticles. Be sure to follow us to keep up with our work! 😊
#PhF24 awardee Dr. Briana Simms (@SimmsLab) @uofcincy wants to design the next generation of lipid #nanoparticles to better deliver medicines into the body and improve access to health care for all.

What’s to come in year 2 you ask?
Well, be on the lookout for our first papers! Hopefully lots more funding so we can continue to advance this research. Guaranteed more learning. And loads of fun.

And we are SUPER close to our first papers from the lab. I’m soooo blessed to have a lab like this and a job that’s even better. I’m so grateful for my colleagues who constantly encourage me and see my potential.

I’m soooo incredibly proud of the team for trying new strategies to take control of their schedules. For pushing themselves to find new ways to be productive (both in academics and in their personal lives).

I just got to meet this INCREDIBLE scholar! So glad she joined the UC family! 😊
Did you hear BlackWomeninBME co-organizer, Dr. LaShan Hendrix, has taken her talents to the midwest? You can find this Blue Chip engineer working on vascular calcification in renal disease in The Blue Chip City at @UC_CEAS! Who should we feature next? bitly.ws/zCMp

So honored to be featured here, Prof. Speight! To be listed amongst some of the greatest scientists I know is such an honor 💛
Some of my favorite black chemists. Some mentors, friends, inspirations, influences. Welcome to black history month, we celebrate black excellence all year round but this month we’re a little more direct about it 🙌🏽

Today I asked my lab members to join me in a literature reading challenge. One scientific paper per day. Reading and keeping up to date on the scientific advances is a critical part of the research process.
I’m super excited to see how much everyone reads at the end of January.
