So excited to have joined with the champions of Tug-Of-War this year! We're (Highley lab and UVA M3 Lab) recruiting for possible tuggers for 2024 to win the trophy again. Saucerman Group and Mete Civelek get in line if you want to be winners next year. 🤣



Today we highlight the BME super dad, NIH MOSAIC recipient, and immunoengineer Dan Abebayehu, PhD who is trying to hijack the fibrosis to regenerate tissues rather than form scar tissue Virginia BME. If you need a fibrosis collaborator or advice on raising kids as a trainee, he is the guy!
