We're looking for scientists with a background in molecular and cell biology who are interested in engineering to help us make new experimental tools. We have open positions at the PhD candidate and postdoc level. For details, check out: polachecklaboratory.com/join

Congratulations Tanmay Khare for an awesome masters thesis defense! Great to see Tanmay and his NC State MAE colleagues developing new mechanical models for biological applications.

Awesome to see members of the lab making a difference. Thanks Christian Griffith !

Congrats to the newest PhD candidate from the Brown lab Eunice Chee! A successful virtual proposal! @UNCNCSUBME Ke Cheng, Ph.D. Polacheck Lab

Congratulations Joanna McDonald for an excellent Abrams Scholar presentation. We're all looking forward to seeing the cool things you'll do in the next stage of your scientific career at MGH!

Congrats to Alex and her team at GSK and TESARO, Inc. on approval for Niraparib in the frontline ovarian cancer setting! Amazing work from the >700 patients and thousands of doctors involved and great news for ovarian cancer patients.

Hi! I'm Quinton Smith. I completed my B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Univ. of New Mexico, a Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins ChemBE, and working as a postdoc at MIT's Koch Institute at MIT as a Hanna Gray Fellow @HHMI. Will be joining UC Irvine as an assistant professor in spring! #BiERollCall #BlackInEngineering

Congrats, Quinton!

Check out our new paper in Acta Biomaterialia! We compared the angiogenic potential of natural and synthetic hydrogels and found porosity to be a critical regulator. We then designed an approach to imbue microporosity in synthetic hydrogels to enhance angiogenesis. authors.elsevier.com/a/1dkGC6CFjZIb…
