Check out his publication here.

Joshita named an execeptional graduate by the AU honors college!

We are so proud of senior undergraduate researcher, Joshita Suresh, for her exceptional contributions to our lab throughout the past four years! Joshita was named an exceptional graduate by the Auburn University Honors College due to her academic excellence and phenomenal undergraduate honors thesis submission entitled, “Development of in vitro prostate cancer culture to recapitulate the native tumor microenvironment”. Congratulations Joshita, we wish you the best of luck as you pursue your graduate studies at the University of Colorado Boulder this fall!

Michaela publishes in AUJUS!

Congratulations to Lipke Lab undergraduate researcher, Michaela Bush, for publishing her research in the Auburn University Journal of Undergraduate Scholarship! The work showcased in this article was performed as a part of Michaela’s Undergraduate Research Fellowship and we are incredibly proud of her contributions to the lab. Check out her article here!

Lipke Lab Undergraduate Researchers had a productive summer!

This summer, our Lipke Lab undergraduate researchers spread out across the world (literally) to enrich their undergrad experience and broaden their knowledge through internships, fellowships, and study abroad opportunities. Joshita Suresh was accepted to the HudsonAlpha BioTrain Internship program and spent her summer in Huntsville, AL, with our collaborators, CFD Research Corporation. Emma Hicks traveled to Dublin, Ireland with the UA in Ireland: Chemical Engineering program. In between exploring castles, Emma took Transport Phenomena and Stem Cell Bioengineering courses at University College Dublin. Hanna Hammons was hard at work at a co-op with Procter and Gamble. Andrew Moore and Michaela Bush were both awarded the AU Undergraduate Research Fellowship and spent all summer right here in the Lipke Lab. The rest of our many undergraduates spent their time either in the lab or taking courses at Auburn!
