Thanks to Basic Science Tips (in Memory of Fred Nelson, MD) for featuring my work in the Orthopaedic Research Society #BasicScienceTip of this week!

If you're at #FOCIS, come check out my poster talk at the Late Breaking Session on Thursday or stop by at the reception! This year I'm excited to showcase the Leach Lab collab with Jamal S. Lewis to develop immunomodulatory hydrogels to treat BRONJ👩‍🔬 cdmcd.co/v9EXZr

Happy birthday to the newest member of the Leach lab, Shierly! 🥳🎂

Big congratulations to the newly minted Dr.Marissa Gionet-Gonzales, PhD for passing her PhD defense!🥳🙌 We can't wait to see what you get up to next at UC Santa Barbara! ❤️

Check out the newest paper from Leach Lab. We made hydrogels mimicking the growth factor-binding nature of ECM. Gels trapped endogenous GFs from MSC spheroids and improved cell invasion. Congrats Marissa Gionet-Gonzales, PhD and team! UC Davis Biomedical Engineering Graduate Group UC Davis Department of Orthopaedic Surgery onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

Congratulations to our fearless leader Kent Leach !!

Congratulations TemerNFTart for your selection as a 2021-2022 ARCS - Northern California Scholar! northern-california.arcsfoundation.org/scholars/2021-…

Congratulations, Tomas Gonzalez-Fernandez !! 🥳

Excited to kick off 2022 with a new paper in Adv Healthc Mater @AdvSciNews by Tomas Gonzalez-Fernandez, Augustine Saiz, MD & Alex Tenorio where we combined our engineered ECM with MSC spheroids for markedly improved differentiation response!

Spread the word!

I enjoyed spending some time this winter break illustrating a tentative journal cover for our last Leach Lab paper. It was finally not chosen as the cover but I am grateful to @AdvSciNews to let us showcase our work in a frontispiece! #SciArt #SciComm #ScientificIllustration

We are proud of our own Bobby Gresham for winning the best platform presentation at the 2022 UC Davis Biomedical Engineering Graduate Group Student Symposium. His work is an emerging area of focus for Leach Lab. Way to go Bobby!

Congratulations to Kent Leach, Ph.D., for being the recipient of the 2021 Deans' Excellence Award in Mentoring. Dr. Leach was recognized for his exemplary work to model and facilitate academic and research excellence for #UCDHOrtho faculty & trainees. Congrats, Dr. Leach! 👏
