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 Martins – A Cost-effective In Vitro Testing Platform Using Light-assisted Functional Characterization Of Engineered Heart Tissues
Emily Wrona Ozpinar – Modulation 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!
