The REdesign Lab recently attended and presented at the 2019  Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, PA! The BMES Annual Meeting brings together scientists and engineers from all fields of biomedical engineering for four days of talks, poster presentations, networking events and celebrations. The REdesign Lab also participated in graduate school recruitment for the department, a summary of which can be found on the UNC-CH/NCSU BME website.

Four REdesign lab members presented the following posters (presenting author is in bold and underlined):

Andreea Badileanu In Vitro Model Co-Culture Model to Study the Antifibrotic Effect of Porcine Derived Lamina Propria Extracellular Matrix Hydrogel

Ariana Frey – The Development of a Three-Dimensional In Vitro Model of Canine and Human Mastocytosis

Dr. Camilo Mora-Navarro Proteomic Characterization of Decellularized Vocal Fold Lamina Propria-ECM and Its In vitro Effect upon TGF-b1 Fibrosis Modulation

Emily Wrona Ozpinar Direct and Indirect Three-Dimensional Co-Cultures of Macrophages and Pluripotent Stem Cell Derived-Cardiomyocytes

Dr. Mora-Navarro, Ariana, Dr. Danny Freytes, Emily and Andreea at BMES 2019.

We had a blast!
