CSE Public Lecture: Rising to the Moment

Tuesday, October 19, 2021
Noon (Central)
Zoom webinar

Learn more about the lecture and register.

Join us for the first installment in the College of Science and Engineering’s new public lecture series Rising to the Moment featuring biomedical engineering associate professor Chun Wang, whose polymer “wafer” technology, when placed under the tongue, can effectively deliver and preserve protein-based vaccines. The research could open the door for vaccines that can be more easily produced and distributed to communities around the world.
