Lipke Lab graduate researcher, Justin Harvell, completed his first oral presentation at the 2021 ACS annual meeting. His talk was entitled “HiPSC encapsulation geometry impacts engineered cardiac tissue homogeneity and functionality”. This talk highlighted data collected by both Justin and Dr. Morgan Ellis.
The Lipke Lab is so proud of our undergraduate researcher, Hannah Brien, for being selected as the Spring 2021 Student Graduation Marshal for the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering! Hannah has been a part of our lab since 2018 and will be starting graduate school at Vanderbilt University this fall. Congrats, Hannah!
We want to send a huge congratulations to former Lipke Lab undergraduate researcher, Bryana Harris, for being named a 2021 NSF Graduate Research Fellow! Bryana is currently a PhD student in biomedical engineering at the University of Virginia, working under the advisement of Dr. Saucerman. Congrats Bryana! We are so proud of you!

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!
We are so excited to share that Dr. Lipke was awarded the Senior Auburn Alumni Engineering Research Award for Excellence! This prestigious award recognizes excellence in engineering research at Auburn University and is a testament to Dr. Lipke’s leadership and the Lipke Lab’s research efforts as a whole.
Congratulations to Lipke Lab graduate researcher Nicole Habbit for being awarded the J. Alley Family Graduate Student Leadership Fellowship! This fellowship was awarded based on her academic excellence, extracurricular activities, and leadership abilities.
Congratulations to Lipke Lab graduate researcher Morgan Ellis for being named the Graduate Student Volunteer of the Year by the college of engineering! This award recognizes those students who go above and beyond to assist the college with its K-12 outreach initiatives. We are so proud of you, Morgan!
