Congratulations to Prof. Cindy Reinhart-King! Vanderbilt bioengineer’s trailblazing cancer research receives $1M W. M. Keck Foundation grant engineering.vanderbilt.edu/news/2020/vand… VU Engineering Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center Biomedical Engineering Society AIMBE

Excited to share our new review article from the Reinhart-King lab Vanderbilt BME on how cancer cells tune their metabolism to power migration and metastasis in response to mechanical signals in the tumor microenvironment. authors.elsevier.com/c/1c~G55WXUlLH…

Excited to introduce our next MechanoChemBio2021 speaker in the area of #Mechanobiology. Join the talk of Cynthia Reinhart-King Cynthia Reinhart-King Vanderbilt University to learn how cells sense and measure energetics during migration. To find out more about her work: cellmechanics.org

⭐️BMES Special Election Results ⭐️ Congratulations to the newest BMES Board of Directors. We’re looking forward to working together for continued success in the BMES community!

Honored and excited to be elected the next president of BMES! Looking forward to serving with the newest board members, Kumar Lab, UC Berkeley Platt Lab and Ruth Ochia!

Awesome work from my former phd student Matt Zanotelli and current lab members Jian Zhang and Ish!

CODE RED: Vanderbilt reception is at MARRIOTT RIVERCENTER SALON A (not convention center as in printed invitation). Retweet to the Maximus! These cocktails are not going to drink themselves… #BMES2022 7-10pm

I’m not trying to brag, but when the King and Reinhart-King Labs go out for a #BMES2022 dinner, we bring our own Bash guide 😂

Congratulations to Adam Pare for securing R01 funding and graduating from the AIMRC COBRE Research Project Leader Program!!! This is well-deserved! Looking forward to seeing how the project progresses! NIGMS UArkansas Research Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences news.uark.edu/articles/66498…

Excited to see so many great work at #BMES2023 and meet old and new friends in Seattle. My lab UArk BME is recruiting postdocs and PhDs in cancer mechanobioloy and metabolism. Please meet me at the UArk BME booth or the Molecular Mechanobio session on Sat Morning in Room 333！

So many great cancer mechanobiolgy work at #BMES2023 this year. Scientific Reports is now inviting submissions for a special collection Mechanisms of metastasis, which include tumor migration and invasion and I am one of the guest editors.

Way to go Jian Zhang and team!

Congrats to Jian Zhang of UArk BME! He has been awarded the prestigious National Institutes of Health Trailblazer R21 Award to explore the critical role cellular contractility plays in both development and disease. . Read more: engineering.uark.edu/news.php?id=69…

So proud of my student, Chloe Cotton, for winning the fourth place in the ⁦University of Arkansas⁩ undergraduate research symposium poster competition! Great job! You are well deserved for the award! linkedin.com/posts/chloe-co…

Thrilled to share our new paper in Adv Sci from Reinhart-King Lab Cynthia Reinhart-King Vanderbilt BME and my own lab UArk BME ! We unveil an energy-driven mechanism for morphogenetic cellular flow, crucial for 3D #cancer #collective #migration and many more! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…
