The Balalab is on its way to #BMES2022! These amazing scientists will be presenting their work on various organ-chip systems. UArk BME

Excited for the opportunity to present my research on valve-on-chip to assess calcific aortic valve disease Biomedical Engineering Society 2022 meet! UArk BME

It was so much fun to hang out with our UArk BME fam at #BMES2022

Successful #BMES2022 for Balalab members Ishita Tandon, Laís, Amanda and Lexi! They rocked their individual presentations! #ProudPI

1 talk, 2 sessions as co-chair, amazing chats with so many talented researchers, and an amazing lunch with Balalab Kartik Balachandran later.. #BMES2022 was a blast! UArk BME Biomedical Engineering Society

We updated our database and now list 385 postdoc fellowship opportunities (w/ description, deadline, amount, eligibility, etc). Getting one means a lot more freedom to do the work you want to do.

We had a fantastic time at ASEE annual meeting in Baltimore. Our group presented four papers in three divisions. Super proud of my mentees, Ishita Tandon, Amanda Walls, Mary Jia, and Jacquelynn Horsey for representing University of Arkansas UArk BME very well.

Excited to be a part of #BMES2023! Meet the faculty candidate session marks my first step towards an independent career in academia! Also a humbling experience when two of my trainees are presenting poster - Hemali Gauri and Camryn Adamson!
