The annual American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) conference was held in San Diego, CA this year from April 5-10. Yuan had a blast sharing about the colorectal cancer microsphere work through a poster at AACR. His poster was titled “Tissue Engineered Colorectal Cancer Microspheres For Drug Screening.”
We are extremely proud to announce that Dr. Lipke was inducted into the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) College of Fellows on March 25, 2024 at the ceremony in Arlington, VA. The College of Fellows recognizes those who have made outstanding contributions to engineering and medicine research and is a prestigious distinguishment that represents the top 2% of medical and biological engineers . Dr. Lipke’s work is making substantial impact in the field of cardiology and cancer treatment and her work is crucial to the translation of research in the field of medicine.
