I'm delighted to share the latest pub from my PhD work! In this work, co-first authored by Monet Roberts and myself, we found that systemic taxane chemotherapy damaged the meningeal lymphatics using in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo models ⬇️🧪

Demonstration of chemotherapeutic-mediated changes in meningeal lymphatics in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo - Communications Biology
In vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo models reveal that taxane chemotherapy disrupts meningeal lymphatic barrier function and vessel structure, alongside changes in fluid flow and impaired cognition.

Engineered lymphatic stroma model applications in central nervous system leukemia
Central nervous system (CNS) involvement frequently occurs in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), but many questions remain about how leukemia cells access, persist in, and exploit the CNS. The CNS is...

Interstitial fluid flow in an engineered human lymph node stroma model modulates T cell egress and stromal change
The lymph node (LN) performs essential roles in immunosurveillance throughout the body. Developing in vitro models of this key tissue is of great importance to

Scientists as political advocates
Science, both teaching and doing, is under attack. The recent US presidential election of a person and platform with anti-science bias exemplifies this. The study of climate processes and patterns and...

My whole team is excited to share our preprint with you, on an #OrganOnChip model of T cell-B cell interactions in the human lymph node! This is a model of antibody production starting from naive T cells and B cells, in a 3D microenvironment. #immunoengineering
