January 5, 2009 - Mark Banaszak Holl, professor of chemistry and of macromolecular science and engineering at the University of Michigan, was elected as a fellow of American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). "Banaszak Holl studies the development of polymer-based drug transport agents and their interactions with lipid bilayers, organelles and cells. He was honored by AAAS for distinguished contributions bridging disciplinary boundaries in studies of chemical and biochemical processes at the nanoscale." The University Record

February 26, 2008 - Nanoemulsion vaccines show increasing promise as effective protection against viral diseases.
U-M studies in mice of oil-based nasal vaccine technology show effective immunity against smallpox and HIV. A novel technique for vaccinating against a variety of infectious diseases – using an oil-based emulsion placed in the nose, rather than needles – has proved able to produce a strong immune response against smallpox and HIV in two new studies
August 16, 2007 - Anthrax vaccine uses nanoparticles to produce immunity
A nasal vaccine shows strong promise in initial animal studies conducted by U-M researchers at the Michigan Nanotechnology Institute for Medicine and the Biological Sciences. After further studies in animals and people, the result could be a better anthrax vaccine that requires no shots, is effective with only one or two immunizations, needs no refrigeration and could be used effectively after a bioterrorism attack to boost immune response in exposed people.
