Congratulations:  Kevin Nelson, an assistant professor of biomedical engineering, has received a patent for his drug releasing, biodegradable fibers. The fibers carry drugs or chemicals to targeted areas of the body, and then harmlessly dissolve once their work is completed. The fibers have potential uses in battling cancers and in repairing damaged nerve and organ tissue. [CoE website http://www.uta.edu/engineering/]
