These responses include thrombosis (\u201cclotting\u201d), inflammation, immune responses, matrix remodeling, angiogenesis, wound healing; i.e., all aspects of a host response to an implanted material or device. The material is an agonist, much like small molecule drugs; however, the materials are 3-dimensional objects acting across an interface so that the mechanism of action is more complex and our understanding of what is happening is more rudimentary than it is for small molecules. Hence, our challenge is to translate what is known about biological mechanisms with small molecule agonists into a picture of what is occurring with the biomaterial. Depending on the problem, the lab synthesises new polymers, formulates existing polymers into novel forms, assesses surface chemistry and structure, studies cell-material interactions in cell culture and\/or conducts in vivo experiments in animals (typically mice and rats). Most of the responses of interest are only evident in vivo and so the in vivo studies are typically key in many projects at the Masters and Ph.D. levels.

In the context of tolerance, induction of regulatory T cells is critical, and antigen specificity can arise from exogenously administered antigens in the form of an inverse vaccine or from endogenous antigens in a site of inflammation. In either case, we explore methods to induce or deliver cytokines to regions of lymph nodes where immunity develops and is regulated. In recent work in allergic asthma, we developed an approach employing glycosylated polymers to deliver allergic antigens and induce regulatory cytokine expression to re-bias immunity back to tolerance, inducing allergen-specific regulatory T cells and thus preventing asthmatic responses to pulmonary antigen challenge. In work in an experimental model of autoimmune neuroinflammation, we are developing an approach to deliver the tolerogenic cytokine IL-10 to all the secondary lymphoid organs of the body from a simple subcutaneous administration. Here, antigen specific Tregs were developed in response to myelin antigens that drain from the inflammation site. In the context of aggression, we have developed an approach to deposit inflammatory cytokines in the tumor microenvironment to tip the balance between cytotoxic T lymphocytes and Tregs, whether by agonizing innate immune cells such as macrophages and dendritic cells or adaptive immune cells, in particular T cells. With regard to antigens in mounting immune aggression, we have developed cysteine-reactive polymers that bind in situ to the surfaces of tumor cells to direct the adduct to antigen-presenting cells along with polymer-conjugated adjuvant moieties to induce an anti-tumoral vaccine response. Thus, in both contexts, biological functionality can be engineered to guide immunity toward tolerance in inflammation, allergy and autoimmunity and toward aggression in cancer.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBIO\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EJeffrey Hubbell is a pioneer in the field of immuno-modulatory materials whose research spans biology, chemistry, and engineering to generate novel solutions to common health problems. His work focuses on using biomaterials and engineered proteins to enhance the body\u2019s own immune system to fight inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, allergies, and disease states like cancers. With more than 400 papers and 100 issued US patents, Hubbell uses biomaterials and protein engineering approaches to investigate topics in regenerative medicine and immunotherapeutics. In regenerative medicine, he develops both materials and protein therapeutics to address issues such as chronic wound healing in diabetes and bone repair after trauma. In immunotherapeutics, he pursues nanomaterials in vaccination for infectious disease and cancer as well as targeted therapy with RNA, protein-material conjugates for inverse vaccines to induce antigen-specific tolerance in autoimmunity and allergy, and in protein therapy to tip immune balances toward aggression in immuno-oncology and toward tolerance in inflammatory disease.

Transcending traditional educational models, TrEd is a living and breathing movement striving to redefine education as a journey of exploration; it champions the belief that genuine learning blooms not in confined classrooms, but in the spaces that nurture students\u2019 confidence, adaptability, and empathy while simultaneously equipping them with the tools necessary to make meaningful contributions to society.2 At the heart of TrEd is an unwavering and resolved commitment to placing students at the very center of their own transformation, where curiosity meets courage and every challenge becomes a seed for growth. Through a wide range of experiential initiatives, TrEd empowers the next generation of changemakers by cultivating leadership skills and equipping them with the inner flame to question and uplift.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003EAmong its most treasured offerings are the Mentoring Talks,3 where luminaries from around the world candidly share transformative moments from their professional journeys, fostering a growth mindset and an appreciation of perseverance among students. Over the years, these inspiring talks have shown the voices of the world\u2019s most distinguished minds, including Nobel Laureates, offering students a path paved with determination and a North Star to guide their aspirations. At the same time, the Medical Research Volunteer Program (MRVP)4 and the International Medical Research Volunteer Program (MRVP-Int\u2019l) both create valuable pathways for undergraduate explorers by drawing them into the process of hands-on research, developing their scientific rigor and curiosity while also providing them with precious networking opportunities with researchers and research institutions early on. On top of that, the ChemCarnival brings chemistry to life in a whirlwind of color and celebration.5 As the largest STEM event in the MENA region, ChemCarnival exemplifies TrEd\u2019s mission to break down barriers in STEM by highlighting science as a creative and joyful pursuit where formulas are turned into fireworks, encouraging the next generation to see science as a festival to join, not a mountain to climb in fear. In addition, spirited STEM competitions6 and the Makhlouf Haddadin Lectureship7 engage both the AUB community and the broader public, promoting a culture of lifelong learning and intellectual exploration.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003EIn an age marked by rapid change, TrEd\u2019s mission is to train a generation of transformative leaders who possess the courage and critical thinking required to challenge the status quo, adapt to crises, and inspire positive change within their communities. This movement of metamorphosis that is continuously responding to societal challenges \u2014 such as public health emergencies like the COVID-19 pandemic \u2014 proves that transformative education is a powerful catalyst for resilience, personal fulfilment, renewal, and collective progress.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003EDr. Kaafarani\u2019s research spans the fields of supramolecular chemistry, organic electronics, reticular chemistry, sensors, and education. He has received numerous awards including the Best Paper Research Award from the Lebanese National Council for Scientific Research (2011), the Research Excellence Award from the Lebanese National Council for Scientific Research (2012), the Distinguished Scholar Award from the Arab Fund Fellowship Program (2014), the AUB Teaching Excellence Award (2016), and the Abdul Hamid Hallab REP Service Excellence Award (2018).

She then earned her MD, PhD from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine where she studied the biology of human T cell activation under the direction of her PhD mentor, Dr. Carl June. After completing her doctorate degrees, Marcela did a one-year postdoctoral fellowship with Dr. Kathy High at the Children\u2019s Hospital of Philadelphia studying patient immune responses to liver-directed AAV-mediate gene transfer as a treatment for hemophilia. She then completed her clinical training in internal medicine, hematology, and oncology as a resident at the University of Pennsylvania Health System and a fellow at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. While at Memorial Sloan Kettering, she worked in Michel Sadelain\u2019s lab to engineer new genetically modified T cells to target the cancer-testis antigen NY-ESO-1 and received specialized training in Phase I developmental therapeutics. She was also awarded a K08 grant by the NIH to facilitate her transition to a faculty position.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFollowing her extensive training (11 years), Marcela returned to the University of Pennsylvania in 2012, where she was recruited by her former PhD mentor, to expand their research efforts in the development of CAR T cells for lymphoma, myeloma, and other cancers. While there, Marcela continued her efforts on preclinical development of CAR T cells and correlative studies of CAR T cell-related toxicities and resistance to therapies. They discovered and reported on the first cases of anaphylaxis to CAR T cells and off target cross-reactivity. She also led an entire arc of translational research, from preclinical testing to a first-in-human clinical trial of EGFRvIII CAR T cells for treatment of recurrent glioblastoma. Correlative data collected from this trial led to an understanding of CAR T resistant mechanisms that have led further refinement of these CAR T cells, which is one current area of focus in her current laboratory and has led to the development of another Phase I clinical trial for GBM patients.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ENow, Dr. Maus is a Professor of Hematology and Oncology at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, where she runs a laboratory focused on developing and improving CAR T cell therapy for cancer patients while also periodically attending for the bone marrow transplant service. Marcela is the Paula O-Keeffe Endowed Chair of the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center and the Director of the Cellular Immunotherapy Program. She has won numerous awards for her transformative research and is achieving her goal of using science to determine the best way to treat patients by harnessing the power of the immune system to solve intractable problems like cancer. She also enjoys training clinicians and scientists and watching her mentees succeed and become independent scientists and collaborators.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EMarcela Maus, M.D., Ph.D. - Harvard Medical School, Mass General Brigham Cancer Institute\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Marcela Maus, M.D., Ph.D. - Harvard Medical School, Mass General Brigham Cancer Institute"}],"uid":"35486","created_gmt":"2026-01-21 15:04:53","changed_gmt":"2026-02-02 13:57:57","author":"Christina Wessels","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-10-06T11:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-10-06T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-10-06T13:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-10-06 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-10-06 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-10-06 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Marcus Nanotechnology Building - Conference room 1116","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.
