NCNHIR Workshop

Prof. Ault and Dr. Axson recently attended the NIEHS Centers for Nanotechnology Health Implications Research (NCNHIR) Workshop in Raleigh, NC. They presented work on AgNP gastrointestinal studies, including a talk and poster on the kinetics of AgNP in gastric fluid of varying pH and in the presence of pepsin, along with learning about the various other studies performed through NCNHIR. 

Though this was the final meeting the consortium, we are excited about the potential to continue  thie research with in our lab and though collaborations with others from the consortium to further our understating of AgNP impacts in the gastrointestinal tract. 

Gold rating for sustainability

Members of the Ault lab recently participated in sustainability training to learn more about sustainability principles for the laboratory, including how to reduce energy consumption and increase sustainable operations. The Ault lab was awarded a gold rating for sustainability through the University of Michigan Office of Campus Sustainability: http://www.ocs.umich.edu/pdf/AultLaboratory584.pdf
