Congrats to Tyler Cunningham for a wonderful presentation of his work in the lab along with everyone at the UC Davis Undergraduate Research Conference! UC Davis URC

Congratulations to BME PhD Candidate Taryn Loomis who recently received the NOA for her outstanding NIH F31 proposal! UC Davis Biomedical Engineering Graduate Group

Congrats to Ross P. Wohlgemuth, Ph.D. on winning the Barbara Horwitz and John Horowitz Award as an outstanding graduate student in MCIP at UC Davis. More to come for Ross too!

This isn't a repeat, but congrats again to Ross P. Wohlgemuth, Ph.D. for also winning the Irving I. Hertzendorf Memorial Award recognizing his full range of scholarly attributes in MCIP at UC Davis

It was great to see all of the students celebrating their accomplishments #UCDavisGrad. I was especially happy to be able to present to Pooja Muralidharan and the rest of the UC Davis Biomedical Engineering Graduate Group Masters students. Way to go Pooja!

Co-editors Ehsan Ban, Lucas R. Smith, WellsLab and I are excited to share our special issue in Frontiers on COLLAGEN! frontiersin.org/research-topic…

Congratulations to Dr. Craig McDonald and team at UC Davis Health for treating Andrew Rodriguez from Fresno with #GeneTherapy before his 6th birthday. Thank you to Valley Children's Healthcare (valleychildrens.org), Sarepta Therapeutics and Medi-Cal for working together to make this

Excellent work by Taryn synthesizing how skeletal muscle FAPs play an important role pro-fibrotic feedback loops. #myotwitter

Great mentees make mentors look good!

Great to see Taryn's works with Shriner's on the mechanosensitivity of stem cells in muscle from children with cerebral palsy presented at #AACPDM2023

Fun to have Ross show off his dynamic imaging of CP muscle architecture at #AACPDM2023

Ross, along with an assist from Sarah, has done a really nice job putting together our understanding of collagen architecture in skeletal muscle. Ross P. Wohlgemuth, Ph.D., @sarah_brash25, AJP-Cell Physiology journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.115…

I have been neglecting posting for awhile, but big news in the lab this week. Taryn absolutely rocked her PhD dissertation defense! Incredibly proud of Taryn and very fortunate she did her fantastic research with the MyoMatrix Lab. Ask her all about FAPs.

More big news for the lab this week. Ross P. Wohlgemuth, Ph.D. gave an amazing exit seminar. Soon to be Dr. Wohlgemuth showed why he is THE expert in collagen architecture in muscle. You should follow him now with more exciting work to come. Time for a celebration! MCIP at UC Davis

Our first MyoMatrix students received their PhD hoods! I am Incredibly proud of the scientist you have each become, how you all supported each other through the tribulation of PhD life, and happy we could have some fun along the way! @sarah_brash25 , Taryn , Ross P. Wohlgemuth, Ph.D.

It was fun to have our lab featured in a recent piece by ABC10 on the future of cultivated meat - along with colleagues at UCD Integrative Center for Alt Meat and Protein. giphy.com/gifs/AbEHtDalY… abc10.com/article/news/l…
