Excited to share the first preprint from our lab HHMI | Janelia, describing a cell-impermeable small molecule fluorophore that enables wash free imaging of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in live samples. We think of it like Hoechst, but for ECM: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

In this interview, I explicitly discussed the genocide unfolding in Gaza and how DEI convos and spotlights cannot and should not continue without mentioning the on-going genocide and ethnic cleaning in occupied Palestine. None of that is in here.

🚨 introducing Burst-Sine Wave Electroporation (B-SWE) for expansive blood-brain barrier disruption! 🧠While square pulses excel in tissue ablation, sine waves enable controlled ablation & enhanced drug uptake, targeting local metastasis more efficiently⚡️ doi.org/10.1063/5.0198…

🚨 new pub alert

Thrilled to sharethat the lab’s first NIH proposal was funded! ✨It couldn’t have happened without the amazing Shuyu Zhang. We are excited to advance pulse-driven microfluidic technology with this NIBIB #Trailblazer award. Thanks to all who gave support/feedback along the way

Highly recommended to anyone else healing from institutional racism: “Scholars of color are often pushed out of traditional disciplinary departments, forced through bullying, harassment, & hostile work environments… [R]aising problems becomes translated into being the problem.”

New paper alert! Shuyu Zhang led a talented team of undergrad researchers to develop microneedle arrays tuned for insulin delivery. Our CAD files & 3D printing protocol are freely available. Read here: pubs.aip.org/aip/adv/articl… #OpenScience #Diabetes #DrugDelivery #3DPrinting

#newinJBME This #openaccess article by researchers from Rouzbeh Amini Northeastern COE reports biaxial mechanical testing on the murine ascending aorta to show that remodeling of the vascular wall occurs during late gestation. doi.org/10.1115/1.4064…

Jennifer Munson has been named director of the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC’s Cancer Research Center in Roanoke, VA. 👏 news.vt.edu/articles/2024/…

Shoutout to Dr. Sabrina Campelo, PhD for her work featured on vt news. I think they should have gone with this pic. #dale news.vt.edu/content/news_v…

We are incredibly excited to say Omolola “Lola” Eniola-Adefeso Prof. Lola Eniola-Adefeso has been named dean of the College of Engineering, effective Oct 16. Eniola-Adefeso is coming to UIC from the University of Michigan. Learn more about her career and journey to UIC: shorturl.at/4DItM

#newinJBME A team led by Kristin Myers developed parametric methods for generating 3D models of patient-specific at-term uterine geometries, a key advancement for computational modeling of the biomechanics of birthing. doi.org/10.1115/1.4065…

#newinJBME Latest data from Kristin Myers Columbia Engineering reveal the remodeling process of a nonhuman primate cervix and its distinct regimes throughout pregnancy. doi.org/10.1115/1.4064…

🚨New Pub Alert🚨We are excited to share “Focus Groups as Counterspaces for Black Girls and Black Women: A Critical Approach to Research Methods.” This method acts as a form of resistance, creating empowering spaces for collective healing and advocacy sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

So much positive energy Cornell BME symposium poster session and a fantastic talk by our keynote speaker and alumna Assistant Professor Monet Roberts, PhD! Thanks to our student chapter for organizing!!!

Last Call for Abstracts! Don’t miss the chance to showcase your research at the 2024 Engineering for Women's Health Conference. Abstracts are due TOMORROW! Deadline: August 28, 2024 …g4womenshealth.sites.northeastern.edu/2024-conferenc…

New paper out nature - why are males more vulnerable to severe infections (ex acute #COVID), while females suffer more from autoimmunity (SLE, MS etc and also #LongCovid)? sex chromosomes or hormones? Here we studied adaptation of human immune systems to gender-affirming

So excited to announce that I have been officially awarded the NIH F31 fellowship to continue my doctoral work studying uterine fibroids! 😁🎉😁🎉 Kristin Myers kristinmyerscolumbia.com/2024/09/17/dan…
