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.”
Lipke Lab had a blast at the 2024 Auburn Research Symposium (March 26, 2024). Two oral and two poster presentations were presented.
Benjamin Gusekaran, poster: Scalable Production of Microfluidic Devices for Hydrogel Microsphere Production
Kwaghtaver Desongu, oral: 3D In Vitro Model of Colorectal Cancer in Insulin-Sensitive and Insulin-Resistant Microenvironments

Shireen and Nippa presented their research at 3-minute thesis competition to general audience! The Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) competition celebrates the exciting research conducted by Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) students. Developed by The University of Queensland (UQ), 3MT cultivates students’ academic, presentation, and research communication skills.
Lipke Lab traveled to Seattel, WA to present at the 2023 BMES Annual Meeting. Mohammad presented an oral presentation entitled “Improving metabolic and structural maturation of engineered cardiac tissues to study diabetic cardiomyopathy”.
