Having harnessed MIT's innovation ecosystem, PhD candidates Grant Knappe and Arjav Shah will focus on commercializing their research as 2024 Kavanaugh Fellows.

MIT researchers describe a hydrogel platform for delivering monoclonal antibodies through subcutaneous injection. Biologics are giant organic molecules that don’t lend themselves to packaging found in synthesized pills or injectable suspensions.

MIT's Abdul Latif Jameel Water and Food Systems Lab (J-WAFS) awarded a $150K Solutions grant to Patrick Doyle and team to commercialize rapid removal of micropollutants from water using sustainable hydrogel microparticles.

Imagine millions of soapy sponges the size of human cells that can clean water by soaking up contaminants. This simplistic model is used to describe a new technology developed to remove micropollutants from water.

A team of researchers from MIT has developed a soap-based system to eliminate micropollutants from water.

Inspired by a common household cleaning supply — soap — MIT researchers synthesized micelle-laden hydrogel particles to remove micropollutants from water.
