Congrats to all the winners - we have great students! A special shout out to Justin - who started with our group this time last year. Lots of hardwork and great passion! Congrats Justin! Well deserved! Jacob Griffith OrthoBME Lab

My final year of grad school, there was a hurricane shutdown at Rice and RRK (as Rice BioE chair) sent her parent's phone number around just in case anyone needed to get ahold of her. Area code 308 -- As a fellow 308er, it made me feel at home in academia. Welcome Home!

A force of nature for sure! I first met Terrie when I was a PhD student studying TMJ mechanics. Passionate, caring, and an awesome servant leader. Her story helped inspire me to pursue a career in pain research - she’ll be dearly missed but her influence will last for decades

I got the pleasure of working with Anna at Duke and it’s been so cool watching her follow her dreams — this is just awesome! nbcnews.com/news/amp-video…

Excited to start this new training program with Yenisel Cruz-Almeida (she, her, hers), as part of NIH's HEAL Program. Together, this cohort training experience for the next generation of clinical pain researchers will help bring academic fields together to conquer the problem of chronic pain!

The Orthopaedic Biomedical Engineering Laboratory, led by Dr. Kyle Allen, investigates neurons involved in chronic joint pain amid diseases like osteoarthritis, which progressively weaken joints and cause chronic pain and disability. #MBI_Labs

Happy Holidays! I’m really excited to share this preprint on using Patch-seq and other multi-modal methods to identify the molecular identity of silent nociceptors in the dorsal root gangion in pigs and humans! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/

Thoughts on John Cook retiring. Consistent excellence!

I have worked with many untenured staff scientists & PIs at NIH. They are incredible colleagues who chose science in public service over more lucrative careers. Devaluing their commitment & professionalism is among the most cruel aspects of the DOGE purge science.org/content/articl…

This one Columbia department, Biomedical Engineering, produced 140 inventions in the past five years, leading to 30 industry licenses and 20 new startups.
