Excited happy to announce one of the lab's ongoing NIH projects has been selected for the NIH Concept to Clinic: Commercializing Innovation (C3i) Program! The C3i Program is designed to provide medical device innovators with the specialized business frameworks and essential tools for successful translation of biomedical technologies from the lab (concept) to the market (clinic). Through this program, the NIH fosters the development and commercialization of early-stage biomedical technologies by engaging investigators."

Thanks to Shannon Tsai, NIH graduate fellow in the lab, for leading up our C3i proposal development - great job! This opportunity aligns well with our group's recent clinical/translational team goals so everyone is excited to learn through this opportunity!

Congratulations to Dr. Lampouguin Yenkoidiok-Douti - his 1st author paper has been accepted for publication in Frontiers in Microbiology. Stay tuned for the full paper!

Congrats to Sean Carey, grad student in the lab, who crushed his RAE as part of his advancement in the Bioengineering program!! Keep it up!
