To close out a summer of hard work, cool new data, two provisional patent filings, a 50,000$ cash prize and 6 conference presentations (and forget about all the failed experiments!) we headed to Birchfield Park for kayaking, volleyball, and frisbee BBQ (turns out you can eat off them too).
We had a lab record four student present their research projects at the Mid-SURE symposium hosted by MSU. Dhruv Singh, Vimbai Chado, Evan Malbouef and Sophia Caron all presented posters of their work in the areas of laser welding, shear flow generation and tracking, microplate machining optimization and thyroid hormone action in new approach hepatocyte…

Dhruv presented his latest work on a new process in the lab to manufacture commercial quality microplate based devices to help reduce and replace animal testing methods. The presentation was at the University Undergraduate Research & Arts Forum (UURAF) at Michigan State University. It was wonderful to hear the enthusuasim he had while presenting his…

Thanks to Jacob Reynolds, Dhruv Singh and Vimbai Chado for help with the Micromachining Workshop we host for the Biodesign BME841 students. We cover the basics of computer animated design, computer aided manufacturing and computerized numerical control milling (CAD,CAM & CNC) to create a fun part. Go GREEN!
We wrapped up a few student rotations (Parker and Congying) and celebrated a great 2023 by going bowling.
Congying is just wrapping up her rotation in the lab and generated a beautiful series of dose:response experiments, which she quantified using confocal high-content imaging. She also found some time to use our makerspace and worked with Jacob to create some fun Mahjong art.
Jacob awarded Academic Achievement Withrow Fellowship Award from Michigan State University.
Jacob received acceptance for a platform presentation for the 2023 BMES annual meeting to discuss CNC micromilling as a tool for microphysiological model development.
Sophia presented her work on measuring P450 metabolism over time in primary hepatocyte spheroids.
Qasem presented a poster on the use of design of experiments to investigate CO2 laser bonding of polystyrene to polystyrene at the Mid-Michigan Symposium for Undergraduate Research Experiences.
