Announcing our WHISDEM Center! One of my dreams has been to direct a research center. We aim to facilitate collaborative research efforts in women's health at UC San Diego UC San Diego Bioengineering. Marianna Alperin, MD/MS and I are excited to lead the effort with UC San Diego Institute of Engineering in Medicine UCSD Engineering UC San Diego Health Sciences! 🙌

It is truly an honor to receive the International Award from European Society for Biomaterials We have had so many fantastic collaborators (including visiting students) from the biomaterials community in Europe and look forward to many more interactions in the future.
