Pradip’s review paper on the use of biomaterials for tumor modeling is accepted for publication in Advanced Healthcare Materials!
Travel award to Ramila
Ramila won a Student Travel Award from the Biomedical Engineering Society to attend the annual meeting in Phoenix this October and present her research on neurogenesis of stem cells. Congrats!
Congrats to Dr. Ham!
Stephanie successfully defended her PhD dissertation. Her work led to a new 3D tumor model that faithfully reproduces biologic properties of native tumors. Congratulations!
Congrats to Antonio!
Antonio successfully defended his Master’s thesis. His work led to a new 3D model of human lung airways to allow studies of drug delivery in the lungs. Congratulations!
Ramila’s PhD proposal
Ramila successfully defended her PhD proposal and is now officially a PhD candidate. Congratulations!
Award to Stephanie
Stephanie won the 2017 Joseph L. Verstraete Outstanding Graduate Student Award. Congratulations!
