So proud of Paige Vega , a graduate student of Vanderbilt Cell and Developmental Biology for presenting her work at #CCCongress24. A giant in the field was taken back that she is "only" a graduate student.

Amazing to see Jonathan Brunger’s lab programming cells for the osteoarthritis treatment of the future.

Thank you Ken Lau Lab for presenting at Duke DSCB Colloquium this week! Duke GI

Dr. Vinny Menon has just joined the Rafat Lab as our first postdoc--if you see him, say hello! He earned his PhD from Purdue, and we are excited to make new discoveries about the tumor and tissue microenvironment!

Vanderbilt College of Arts and Science #VU2024 🎓 “I wanted to learn more and solve problems that felt like they mattered.” VU Engineering student Schyler Rowland found a home in the lab with mentors who inspired her future in fighting diseases. news.vanderbilt.edu/2024/03/01/cla…

Received the hard copy issue of our recent ⁦NatRevRheumatol⁩ review today. Cool to see that the artwork on the cover was inspired by our article with ⁦Jonathan Brunger⁩.

We made a set of ts alleles for a recent project but some of them didn’t end up fitting into the final paper. We wanted to make sure to publish them though! Special thanks to former undergrad Isaac Howard for all his hard work on this!

Congratulations to Immunoengineering Lab VU Engineering postdoctoral fellow Alexander Kwiatkowski on being awarded an NIH NRSA F32 fellowship from National Cancer Institute!

A heart in a zebrafish embryo videoed with a slow motion camera. Fish hearts have two chambers: a single atrium and a single ventricle. The embryos are also ~transparent, which facilitates cardiovascular cell biology research. #CellBiology #CardioCellBiology

Congratulations to Monica Brown for winning the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship! Her research interest is on specialized subcellular structures. Expecting great things!
