🚨 AIMBE is calling on the biomedical research community to take a minute to send our 3 new advocacy letters urging Congress to:

1. Protect the STEM Training Pipeline (e.g., NIH MOSAIC, T32s, MARC, etc.)

2. Oppose Indirect Cost Caps

3. Support Research Funding in FY2026

Thanks for the opportunity to present our recent work on supporting cell-based therapies for #T1D!
Sweet keynote by @tejaladesai.bsky.social on cell-based therapies and biomaterials for treating diabetes. It was a cell-ebration of innovation and breakthroughs from scaffolds to immuneengineering #cmbe2025

As we wind down the end of 2024, it was nice to take time and celebrate the holidays with a bi-coastal white elephant lab exchange! So fun to celebrate all with my lab members at both #UCSF and #BrownUniversity.

Snippet from our social hour. Lately I’ve been asked what makes Brown engineering great? Easy answer: the people, the culture! With job interviews in full swing, don’t forget to reflect if you like your would be future colleagues and how they interact. #academia #brownuniversity
