We are ecstatic to announce that Lipke Lab graduate researcher, Mohammadjafar Hashemi, was awarded a 2-year American Heart Association Predoctoral Fellowship for his research studying the link between cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Since being awarded the fellowship, Mohammadjafar had the opportunity to be a guest on the Auburn Engineers #GINNing Podcast. Click here to listen to him discuss his research and his plans for the future. Congratulations, Mohammadjafar!
Justin and Mohammad did a great job today sharing our cardiac tissue engineering research at the 2022 Auburn Student Research Symposium!
Check out our YouTube channel here to watch Dr. Yuan Tian introduce the 3D engineered heart tissues produced using our microfluidic cell encapsulation system and learn how they can benefit the drug discovery and development process.
We would like to wish a huge congratulations to Lipke Lab graduate researcher, Mayra Paez, for graduating with her Master’s degree this fall! Her thesis was entitled, “Encapsulation of equine mesenchymal stem cells in injectable PEG-fibrinogen microspheres for local cell delivery”.
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.
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.
The Lipke Lab had a strong showing at the 2021 Graduate Engineering Research Showcase. Mayra and Mohammad each received honorable mentions for their poster presentations, putting their work in the top 8 out of 140 Presenters.
Graduate researchers, Nicole Habbit and Mohammadjafar Hashemi, traveled to Orlando to present their work at the 2021 Biomedical Engineering Society annual meeting. Both had the opportunity to learn about exciting advances in the BME field and make networking connections.
Lipke Lab undergraduate researcher, Peter Abraham, was awarded second place for his oral presentation, “Transcriptomic analysis to uncover the differential effects of obesity on the consensus molecular subtypes of colorectal cancer” at the 2021 Boshell Research Day!
Lipke Lab undergraduate researcher, Grace Hester, presented her poster entitled “in vitro 3D Engineered CRC Tissue Model to Mimic Non-obese and Obese Microenvironments” at the 2021 Boshell Research Day. Grace won 4th place out of 36 graduate and undergraduate presentations!
