IPN Faculty News
IPN Director Saleet Jafri's research has resulted in a few publications this year already to include a cover of Biophysical Journal (pictured) and another was an editors’ pick for APL Bioeng. Mason faculty are in bold and Mason students in italics.

Additionally, Dr. Jafri's PathyDynamics team received the $50,000 NSF I-corps award to attend the Spring cohort to explore commercialization (product- customer fit) for the technology developed and published in the Biophysical Journal paper to be applied to predicting cancer drug resistance. Saleet Jafri is the PI, Dr. Syeda Andrabi as the Entrepreneurial Lead and David Powell as the Industrial Mentor.
