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!
