Fantastic defense talk by the newly minted DR Paula Camacho!!! Thank you to all who came to support her, esp. her amazing committee Hannah Dailey Thomas Schaer pashucklab & Susan Perry! Lehigh Bioengineering Lehigh Engineers Lehigh MSE Lehigh University Lehigh Research

.Lehigh MSE PhD student & Lehigh Bioengineering alum Andrew Kitson is a 2022 #NSFGRFP recipient! Andrew Kitson draws on healthcare & military experience to propel his research in The Chow Lab working on osteochondral tissue regeneration. Read more: bit.ly/37ZZSO2 Lehigh Research

And after 4 months we have the first set of data from the TGF Lab! Just a small MSC chondrogenic assay but really proud of amazing exchange student Orlaith Kennedy from Biomedical Engineering University of Galway and thankful for all the support from The Chow Lab for getting cell culture stablished in the lab!

In my #extracellularmatrix engineering class, I offered an extra credit assignment to make a meme (or graphical abstract) illustrating an ECM-related concept. The results brought me great joy, so I thought I'd share some of my favorites (all with permission).

This one so accurately summed up what seemed to be the solution to every peptide incorporation problem

Officially official: promoted to Associate Professor w/ tenure Lehigh University! Very grateful to current+past The Chow Lab members, collaborators, mentors, faculty+staff colleagues, friends (#squad), & family (parents, bro, pashucklab, #Rosa,++)! Lehigh MSE Lehigh Bioengineering Lehigh Engineers
