Lipke Lab members presented their research at the AU This is Research Student Symposium alongside nearly 500 Auburn student researchers!
Lab member Yuan attended and presented his research work at the 255th ACS National Meeting & Exposition in New Orleans, Louisiana. The title for his presentation was “Novel Microfluidic System for Encapsulation of Equine Endothelial Colony Forming Cells for Local Cell Delivery”.
Congratulations to our very own Bryana Harris, Luke Anderson, and Joshita Suresh who were each awarded the Auburn Undergraduate Research Fellowship! #WarEagle #AuburnEngineering
Congratulations to Lipke Lab member Nicole Habbit who won first place at the Finish in Five competition! Nicole had to explain her research to a general engineering population in 5 minutes. #AuburnEngineering
A collaborative project with researchers from College of Veterinary Medicine has focused on isolating endothelial progenitor cells in horses and delivering these autologous cells to heal distal limb wounds. The cells were encapsulated in engineered biomaterials using our custom designed microfluidic system.
