Congratulations to Yu-Chieh, Josh, Lisa, Peipei, and Jim for great podium presentations of their work at the national meeting of the Society for Biomaterials this week in Charlotte. Prof. Jewell and Prof. Lance Kam (Columbia University) also co-chaired a well-attended session on harnessing biomaterials to tailor adaptive immune response. Thanks to all the speakers for outstanding presentations, and special thanks to invited speaker Tarek Fahmy (Yale University) for kicking off the session with a great talk!

When the group wasn't attending talks or networking, there were some key opportunities to enjoy Charlotte. For example, Josh unwound after his talk by trying out alternative career options at the NASCAR Hall of fame (left). Jim, Lisa, and Chris made sure to sample some of Charlotte's best BBQ with a pit stop at Sauceman's...

Jim Andorko successfully defends PhD research proposal

4/10/2015

 
Congratulations to Jim Andorko who yesterday successfully defended his PhD proposal. This is an important milestone in Jim's doctoral work during which he presented his research progress and his plans for the remainder of his PhD. Jim has been studying how the properties of biomaterials impact the structure and function of immune tissues such as lymph nodes. He recently received the Keystone Future of Science Foundation award, and is a doctoral trainee on an NIH T32 award. Congratulations Jim!
