  • Bruce Kirkpatrick smiling while sitting on a couch, holding a hairless Sphynx cat that looks off to the side. A textured gray blanket is draped over the back of the couch.
    Chemical and Biological Engineering PhD Student Bruce Kirkpatrick was honored with the 2025 Outstanding Dissertation Award. His hydrogel research supports technologies that enable 3D cell culture for tissue engineering and disease modeling, as well as acellular biomaterials for applications like controlled release of drugs or vaccines.
  • Four researchers wearing lab coats and safety goggles pose together in a laboratory. The person in front holds a flask containing a bright yellow-green liquid, while the others stand behind her, smiling. Laboratory equipment and windows are visible in the background.
    A CU Boulder research team co-led by Distinguished Professor Christopher Bowman has received up to $5.8 million from ARPA-H to develop new treatments that temporarily suspend the immune response after severe burns or tissue injuries, aiming to reduce pain, speed healing and prevent long-term damage. The approach could also benefit patients with limited access to immediate medical care.
