Mohammad, Shireen, and Justin Present at 2022 GERS and Justin Coorganizes

Mohammad, Shireen, and Justin participated in the 2022 10th Annual Graduate Engineering Research Showcase. Mohammad presented his poster entitled “Scalable Production of Engineered Cardiac Tissue Microspheroids with Varying Geometries“, Justin’s titled “Production of Large Heart Tissues Using Stem-Cell Laden Microspheres as Building Blocks,” and Shireen’s titled “3D Differentiation of a Left Ventricular Reporter Stem Cell Line to Produce Engineered Heart Tissues.” In addition to this, Justin coorganized the event as an executive member on the Council of Engineering Graduate Students.

Kayla and Zuri Present Their Work at the CASE-REU Research Symposium

Kayla Edwards and Zuri Rashad, two 2022 summer undergraduate CASE-REU students in Lipke Lab, presented their summer research at the 2022 CASE-REU Research Symposium on July 22, 2022. Kayla presented her work entitled “Scaffold Supported Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Laden Microsphere Heart Tissues,” and Zuri presented her work entitled “Production of Engineered Cardiac Tissues Through Differentiation of Self-Formed Aggregates Using Left Ventricular Reporter Cell Line.” With the completion of the program, Kayla will continue her research at her home institution, Alabama State University, collaborating with Lipke Lab and Zuri will begin graduate school at University of California Irvine getting her PhD in chemical engineering.

The Lipke Lab Presents and Wins at the 2022 SFB Annual Meeting

Members of the Lipke Lab, including Dr. Lipke, Nicole, Mohammad, and Justin, presented two posters, one rapid fire, and three oral platform presentations at the 2022 SFB Annual Meeting. Mohammad was awarded both a STAR award and an honorable mention and Justin was awarded the Tissue Engineering SIG poster competition award. Congratulations to all! We were very excited for the opportunity to share our work with the biomaterials community.

Dr. Lipke and Nicole Present at AACR Annual Meeting

Dr. Lipke and Nicole recently had the wonderful opportunity to attend and present at the 2022 AACR Meeting in NOLA. We were excited to learn about the newest advances in cancer research, meet with collaborators, and share our work towards developing pathophysiologically-relevant tissue engineered cancer models!

Lipke Lab Presents at AU CHEN Open House

Lipke Lab undergraduate and graduate researchers presented at the 2021 Department of Chemical Engineering Open House. We were very excited for the opportunity to share our work with colleagues, alumni, and visiting students and their families.

Justin Serves as CEGS President

Lipke Lab graduate researcher, Justin Harvell, served as the 2021-22 President of the Council of Engineering Graduate Students. In this role, he worked very hard to plan and execute the Graduate Engineering Research Showcase event that permitted 140 students to share their work.
