Go vote for 〽️Michigan Medicine ➡️statnews.com/feature/stat-m… (#13/16)!

Just a couple more days left in Round 2 of this year's #STATMadness tournament. Both remaining Michigan Medicine & Michigan Engineering discoveries are running neck and neck with our competitors. It takes 20 seconds to support our teams. #GoBlue Vote: statnews.com/feature/stat-m…

Vote now to help U-M biomedical research teams compete in the Annual STAT Madness Tournament.

Vote for the two UM 〽️ teams left in the top 32! ➡️Michmed.org/Nano_2

Thank you to everyone who supported us, maria g castro and the other UM teams! It was an honor (and quite fun!) to be selected for the tournament and make it through to the Top 32.

Congratulations to our #BIStudents @paula_fraczek (Aguilar Lab (UM)), John Kim (Lahann Lab) and Ajay Shankaran (Deepak Nagrath Lab) for receiving the #NSFGRFP 👏👏👏

Join us on April 7 for a BI Distinguished Lecture by David Weitz on "Droplet Microfluidics for Ultra-High Throughput Screening and Super-Sensitive Detection" More details here: biointerfaces.umich.edu/event/weitz/

#BIStartup GreenMark Biomedical, a spin out based on technologies licensed from the Lahann Lab and Clarkson's lab, secures FDA approval for its caries detection rinse. 👏👏👏 greenmark.bio/news-events/

Join us on May 5 for a BI Distinguished Lecture by Dr. Thirumala-Devi Kanneganti. She will be discussing PANoptosis in inflammatory and infectious diseases. More details here: biointerfaces.umich.edu/event/kannegan…

The extra cellular matrix (ECM) is central to cell function. In this study, Lahann Lab devise a cell-free way to model 3D networks of an important ECM protein, fibronectin, which helps guide cell orientation and motility. Read the paper: ow.ly/TjYz50Gz1MO

Check out our recent publication where Dylan and colleagues investigated how fluidics guide fibronectin self-assembly to produce biomimetic matrices with aligned topography!

Recently-minted PhD, Xiaoyang Zhong, has a new paper out in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces! In collaboration with Intel, she studied how various chemical vapor deposition polymerization parameters influence the area-selective deposition of paracyclophanes. #surfaces #polymers pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…
