Mucus is a natural biomaterial and plays an important role in how drugs are absorbed in the body,

A new lawsuit says Poppi, a soda that claims to help gut health, is not that beneficial.

Rebecca Carrier, a professor of chemical engineering, is the principal investigator at the Advanced Drug Delivery Research Lab. She came to Northeastern from a big pharmaceutical company to figure out issues in drug design.

You might have heard about bacteria living in our gut or that fermented foods are good for our digestion. Northeastern expert Rebecca Carrier explains what they have to do with our gut health and how we can support it.

Jennifer Morales and Jaclyn Lock recently received their PhDs in bioengineering, a feat they say they could not have accomplished without the help of their female mentors. “Sometimes it takes strong women to tell other women that they’re strong too,” Lock said. Now they’re paying it forward and inspiring young girls to do the same.

Innovative minds and collaborative spirits came together for two featured events at the opening of Northeastern’s Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Complex: “NU Talks: Innovating Across Disciplines” and the panel discussion “The Future of Interdisciplinary Research.” ISEC, the speakers agreed, represents both.

The 40th annual Northeast Bioengineering Conference drew more than 700 researchers to Northeastern last month.

Rebecca Carrier, an associate professor of chemical engineering, received a $1.8 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to explore the role of fat molecules in drug absorption.
