Congratulations to the Ulster and Oxford team for yet another excellent oxygen sonodynamic therapy paper: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0142961215009370

Congratulations to Kang-Ho Song and Alex Fan, as well as our collaborators at UCCS and AMC on this publication in Theranostics . http://www.thno.org/v05p1419.htm We developed a novel high-throughput sonoporation device. The study shows the effect of microbubble size on in vitro cell sonoporation, death and lysis, and the use of...

Congrats to Paul Mountford and Will Smith on the new article in Langmuir! This article examines superheated fluorocarbon mixtures for acoustic droplet vaporization. Effects of chemical composition, temperature and mechanical index are measured. The mixtures work great to tune the vaporization temperature in closed systems, but not so well in...

Professional Research Associate (PRA): The Borden Lab at the University of Colorado Boulder is currently looking to hire an engineer to work in the university laboratory on process scale-up. The work will involve design, fabrication and testing of an emulsion synthesis process to increase capacity by an order of magnitude...

Congratulations to Paul Mountford for successfully defending his PhD: Molecular Thermodynamics of Superheated Lipid-Coated Fluorocarbon Nanoemulsions Here’s a picture of the celebration at the bike park in Crested Butte: Left to right: Paul Dayton, Will Smith, Mark Borden, Paul Mountford

Together with Ben Terry at UNL and Keely Buesing at UNMC, we will investigate peritoneal microbubble oxygenation to treat acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

We published a new paper on peritoneal microbubble oxygenation with Ben Terry’s group at UNL.

Prof. Borden will be presenting on “Design Rules for Acoustic Phase Change Agents” at the 89th ACS Colloids meeting next week in Pittsburgh, PA. http://www.colloids2015.org/Colloids2015/Home.html

Josiah Willard Gibbs (1839-1903): “an American scientist who made important theoretical contributions to physics, chemistry, and mathematics. His work on the applications of thermodynamics was instrumental in transforming physical chemistry into a rigorous deductive science.” He earned the first American PhD in engineering; his dissertation was entitled “On the Form...

Our group was awarded a grant from the Office of Naval Research to investigate novel treatments of decompression sickness. This is a collaboration with the Naval Medical Research Center in MD.
