Duvall to receive 2015 Society for Biomaterials Young Investigator Award for regenerative medicine research

Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering Craig L. Duvall has received a Society for Biomaterials 2015 Young Investigator Award for his achievements in the field of biomaterials research within 10 years of receiving his doctorate.

The award will be presented at the Society’s 2015 annual meeting in Charlotte, N.C., April 15-18. His manuscript, “Conjugation of Palmitic Acid Improves Potency and Longevity of siRNA Delivered via Endosomolytic Polymer Nanoparticles,” will be published in the Journal of Biomedical Materials.

“Professor Duvall is at the forefront of the younger — than me — generation of biomaterials scientists who are designing new biomaterials across length scales — from the nanoscopic to the macroscopic — and applying these for the synthesis of new drug delivery systems,” said nominator Professor Ashutosh Chilkoti, biomedical engineering, Duke University.
