Very excited to share that our recent study has been published in Photochemistry and Photobiology! https://t.co/weMDLIYd42 In this study, we demonstrate that reductions in the fluorescence of the IGS probe ABY-029 can serve as a predictor of TLD1433 PDT responses in vitro.

Very much looking forward to chairing the very first Rising Stars in PDT Research Symposium!

We had such a wonderful time at @PhotonicsWest learning about the latest in PDT and immunotherapy! Loved seeing old friends & the excellent presentations/posters from our @Lab_Obaid_UTD @bme_utd students!

What's happening in Biomedical Engineering in North Texas is very exciting indeed! Day 2 of the 2024 North Texas BME Symposium. @bme_utd @utswbme @jacopoferruzzi

Our awesome group members Chanda @ChandaBhandarii, Nimit @shahnimit7, and Micah representing @Lab_Obaid_UTD at Day 1 of the North Texas Biomedical Engineering Symposium! @utswbme @bme_utd

Overjoyed to celebrate Dr. @ChandaBhandarii today for defending her PhD Dissertation! Chanda is the first student to complete her PhD from my @Lab_Obaid_UTD at @bme_utd!! Thanks to Committee Members @Sabrina_MTT, Imran Rizvi, @UTDJonesLab and @jacopoferruzzi, and collaborators!!

We’re so proud of our summer students – every one of them got an award at the Summer Platform for Undergraduate Research (SPUR)!! Congrats Meghana (OGE Award), Arden (OR Award), Diego and Taksheel (JSE and CS Award)!! We loved having you this summer!!

Our team is recruiting PhD students for Fall '24 and Spring '25! Email CV and research interests: Girgis.Obaid@utdallas.edu

How do photodynamics converge with engineering? Read more about priming, imaging and therapy in our latest review! https://t.co/OEZhI7zSRu With co-authors: Jonathan Celli, @MBroekgaarden @AnneBulin @JPUusimaa @BrianPogue19 @tayyaba_hasan, Joe Huang @Lab_Obaid_UTD @bme_utd

Our latest study led by PhD student Austin shows that increasing the dye payload of the image guided surgery probe Cetuximab-IRDye800CW enables photodynamic therapy! A new single-agent solution for IGS followed by PDT? Stay tuned! https://t.co/B7HlvTzeSM @Lab_Obaid_UTD @bme_utd

Excited for this @SPIEtweets JBO webinar on the latest technologies in imaging and targeting for PDT! Thanks in advance to @BrianPogue19 for hosting and Lothar Lilge for moderating. @valli_mallidi @QUEL_Imaging @Lab_Obaid_UTD

Delighted to host Dr. Tayyaba Hasan's first ever visit to UT Dallas Bioengineering this past weekend! Eclipse day was an added bonus! @tayyaba_hasan @Lab_Obaid_UTD @bme_utd @brekkenlab @jacopoferruzzi @UTDJonsson

We'd like to express our heartfelt appreciation to Dr. Tayyaba Hasann for participating in our Distinguished Seminar Series. Your interactions with our faculty and students were truly inspiring. We eagerly anticipate your return to our campus soon. @Lab_Obaid_UTD

Raise your hand if you are lucky enough to get a "Mug of Honor" from your advisor, every time you publish a paper! Thank you so much @GirgisObaid for always keeping us motivated!!! @Lab_Obaid_UTD @bme_utd @UTDResearch👩‍🔬

Very excited to share our recent discovery that a single light-activable construct targets the PD-L1 immune checkpoint and improves self-delivery to augment immunotherapy in pancreatic cancer! Extremely happy that this collaborative work is finally out!! https://t.co/SGsInRWv1J
