Belated white elephant party with the lab

Recharging this holiday season in 🇨🇴Colombia🇨🇴... I really needed this!

I'm very proud of our postdoc Dr. @roberthincapie.bsky.social who has just been awarded a Ruth L. Kirschstein #F32 Postdoctoral Fellowship from #NIBIB #NIH! Congratulations Robert!! 🥳

Robert is our first postdoc *and* our first F32 recipient in the lab!

Y tambien es Colombiano 🇨🇴! #LatinXinBME

The Immune Modulation & Engineering Symposium at Drexel is always such an amazing meeting

While we are at it, I am also trying to put together an Immunoengineering Starter Pack, but we don't have enough folks yet to create it. If you're an engineer working on immune-related topics, reach out to me and let me know so we can all find one another.

Thanks again to our awesome line up of speakers and panelists! This was a great event and we're looking forward to the next one...

Most attendees sought professional development for professor roles, based on 19 responses (~30%) from an estimated 60 participants. Of these, 63% were professors, and 63% weren’t seeking faculty positions.

Katie Hixon and I are really happy with how this event turned out! We counted at least 60 participants and have just looked at some exit survey responses which felt worth sharing here 🧵⬇️ #BMES2024 #NewPI

The Lab's FIRST national conference is in the books! #BMES2024 thanks for a memorable week ♥️

Submitted the last in a gauntlet of grants this summer and was rewarded by a rainbow 🌈

The lab celebrated and welcomed our first postdoc recently! The talented Dr. Robert Hincapie has officially joined us after wrapping up his PhD at GaTech. On the menu for his welcome lunch? Well, tandoori, curries and samosas of course.

@thewooj.bsky.social came to Columbia
this week to share his amazing research during our new musculoskeletal talks series! Terrific learning about your biomaterials to improve muscle regeneration, hope you enjoyed seeing the uptown campus
