Danielle and Marcos are wrapping up a great week at the NASA HRP Investigators’ Workshop! Danielle presented a poster on our work on the effects of radiation on vasculature. Great to connect with fellow Translational Research Institute for Space Health investigators and others over some exceptional research! 👩‍🚀

We are thrilled to celebrate YingYu Lin successfully defending her thesis today! Congratulations, Dr. Lin! #PhDone Johns Hopkins ChemBE

Quinton Smith's stem cell engineering is 'on the cusp of changing the world,' says Popular Science. His research aims to find cures for preeclampsia and liver diseases which affect Black and Latino people at higher rates. Quinton Smith #stemcell #BlackHistoryMonth2024

We are delighted to have new Master's student Haohao Liu (Haohao) join the lab! Haohao is interested in 3D hydrogel platforms to simulate vasculature and hypoxia. Warm welcome!
