BME Professors Ashutosh Chilkoti and Lingchong You demonstrate a modular platform for producing programmable and synthetic biomolecular condensates (non-membrane bound organelles) with tunable material properties for selective cell partitioning.

The National Institutes of Health covers a recent study from Ashutosh Chilkoti that investigates a new form of brachytherapy where radiation is delivered to a tumor by injecting a radioactive biopolymer directly to the site. 

Ashutosh Chilkoti won Duke's 2022 Outstanding Postdoc Mentor Award after receiving a number of heartfelt nominations from trainees testifying to his support and encouragement.
