REdesign Lab Presents at TERMIS-AM

The REdesign Lab is back from the 2019 Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society (TERMIS)-Americas Chapter Annual Meeting in Orlando, FL! It was an event full of great scientific talks, networking opportunities, poster presentations and warm weather.

Dr. Camilo Mora-Navarro was selected to give an oral presentation in the Biobased Materials for Regenerative Medicine session. The title of his talk was “Decellularized Vocal Fold Lamina Propria-ECM and Associated Matrix-bound Vesicles: Proteomic and In Vitro Characterization Of The TGF-β1 Mediated Fibrotic Response In Human Fibroblasts”. Dr. Mora-Navarro was also selected as a Student Young Investigator Section (SYIS) Top 10 Oral Presentation at TERMIS!

The REdesign Lab had the following poster presentations (presenting author is underlined and in bold):

Andreea Badileanu In Vitro Co-culture Under Static And Vibratory Conditions To Study How Vocal Fold Lamina Propria Extracellular Matrix Hydrogel Modulates Macrophage Polarization And Fibroblast Activation

Lewis Gaffney Muscle And Tendon Derived Extracellular Matrix Promotes Expression Of MTJ Specific Integrins In Myoblast Cell Culture

Dr. Ana Gracioso MartinsA Cost-effective In Vitro Testing Platform Using Light-assisted Functional Characterization Of Engineered Heart Tissues

Emily Wrona OzpinarModulation of BMP Expression In Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes By Direct and Indirect Co-Cultures With Macrophages

Dr. Gracioso Martins, Andreea, Emily, Lewis, Dr. Freytes and Dr. Mora-Navarro at TERMIS-AM in Orlando, FL.

What a great event!

Amber Receives NCSU OUR Award for Spring 2020

Congratulations to REdesign undergraduate and Abrams Scholar Amber Detwiler who was recently funded a NCSU Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) Award for Spring 2020! Amber submitted a proposal to continue her independent research project that started as a Summer Interdisciplinary Research Initiative (SIRI) collaboration between the REdesign Lab and the lab of Jorge Piedrahita (NCSU College of Veterinary Medicine). Because of her successful application, Amber will be awarded $500 in lab supplies to be used in the spring semester. We thank the NCSU OUR Office for providing this funding.

Fantastic job, Amber!

Dr. Mora-Navarro Selected for NCSU Postdoctoral Travel Award

This funding is awarded on a competitive basis four times a year to support travel and presentations by NCSU postdocs at domestic and international conferences. Dr. Mora-Navarro has chosen to use this funding to travel to the 2019 Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society (TERMIS)-Americas Chapter Annual Meeting in Orlando, FL, where he was selected to give an oral presentation.

Great job, Dr. Mora-Navarro!

Andreea and Emily Receive Graduate Student Travel Awards from BME Department

Congratulations to REdesign graduate students Andreea Badileanu and Emily Wrona Ozpinar for receiving graduate student travel awards from the UNC-CH/NCSU Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering! These awards entirely cover Andreea and Emily’s attendance and travel to the 2019 Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society (TERMIS)-Americas Chapter Annual Meeting in Orlando, FL.

Keep up the great work, Andreea and Emily!

 

Emily Selected to Receive Workshop Funding from NCSU Graduate School and GSA

Through a collaboration between the NCSU Graduate School and the NCSU Graduate Student Association, REdesign PhD Candidate Emily Wrona Ozpinar was recently selected, through a competitive process, to recieve $500 towards workshop/short-course funding! Emily has chosen to use these funds towards the “Amplifying Translational Your Impact” pre-conference workshop at the 2019 Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society (TERMIS)-Americas Chapter Annual Meeting in Orlando, FL.

Congratulations, Emily!
