2022 Michelson Prizes: Dr. Brittany Hartwell
Brittany Hartwell, Ph.D., received the 2022 Michelson Prize for "Engineering albumin-hitchhiking intranasal vaccines with enhanced transmucosal uptake to promote immunity."
Dr. Hartwell is an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Minnesota. Her lab’s research in immunoengineering combines perspectives from biomolecular engineering, drug delivery, and immunology to develop molecular platforms that can target specific cells and tissues of the immune system to direct the response, with a particular focus on ‘tuning immunity’ through the mucosa.
The Michelson Prizes: Next Generation Grants are awarded annually by the Human Immunome Project and Michelson Medical Research Foundation to support early-career investigators working to advance human immunology, vaccine discovery, and immunotherapy research for major global diseases.
