#Labsgiving2024 is in the books! Thanks @BrianAguado and his lab for joining in on all that turkey!🦃

Christmas season is officially here! A quick pic with my PhD advisor and two of my amazing lab mates!! ❄️⛄️🎄 This was the annual UC San Diego Bioengineering holiday celebration! UCSD Engineering #gradschool #holidays #Christmas

I ended up receiving an incredible brain-engraved tea infuser bottle as a gift in the White Elephant exchange. 🧠 #gradschool

👇👇👇👇👇Need to improve the maturity of your cardiac organoids? Try incorporating conductive nanofibers. See our paper in JBMRA: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jb… From amazing grad students and postdocs at UC San Diego Bioengineering, UCSD Engineering, and UC San Diego School of Medicine.

My heart is broken as I announce the passing of my beloved husband, science partner and friend, Michael Sheetz. A remarkable scientist we packed 40 years of living into 20. Rejuvenation of senescent cells and mice in Press in Aging Cell; his last words were this was his best work

New paper from lab! 🧬

An NIH-supported study found that cancer cells can cooperate with each other to extract and share key molecules from their environment in order to survive, pointing to potential new strategies for treating certain cancers. bit.ly/3XGYFlg

Super proud moment for everyone in the lab! Our PI Adam J. Engler appointed as the Kenneth Bowles Endowed Chair in UCSD Engineering UC San Diego Bioengineering #gradschool #phdlife

Always a pleasure to talk science with an exciting audience!! 🧬 An amazing young diverse community of scientists! Amazing effort from the entire team BUMMP at UC San Diego and leadership Sonya Neal Claire Chapman #gradschool #phd #glioblastoma #Mentorship UC San Diego

There’s tons out there about fibroblast #mechanobiology in disease. In Confinement Mechanobiology Lab at MBI’s new review in APL Bioengineering, Yeji gives you the who/what/where/when/how/why of mechanosensitive fibroblast activation, from CAFs to FAFs and nearly everything in between! pubs.aip.org/aip/apb/articl…

Happy to share the first pre-print from our lab. Here we show that 3D matrix adhesivity, degradability, porosity, and stiffness conjointly regulate the cellular and nuclear morphology and confinement in tunable microenvironments. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Read our new #GBM paper from the lab! Big congratulations to Raghav!

The fun of doing science even when it means weeks of experiments not working or staying in the lab for 36hrs straight, but then having immense joy in finding 1% of what you hypothesized to finally work! 🧬🥼🧫

Don’t get to hear our boss Frank Furnari share exciting cutting-edge #GBM research every day! Thrilled to hear about the future of the space! The Brain Tumor & Neurorestoration Program UC San Diego UC San Diego School of Medicine 🔬🧠 #Glioblastoma
