Excited to be part of 2024 Young Innovators by CMBE journal. We will present an exciting new direction in this special issue Michael King CMBE journal Coulter BME | Emory & Georgia Tech

An honor to be a 2024 Young Innovator, even better to share the recognition among friends, women's health co-chair Kaitlin Fogg and Erika Moore. Looking forward to connect with all the other Innovators!

So excited to be apart of this phenomenal group! Thank you so much CMBE journal for the opportunity and to the helpful reviewers!

Thank you CMBE journal for this recognition! 🙏Please check out the associated paper where Anushka Agrawal explores the effects of chirality on the in vitro and in vivo behavior of self-assembling peptides. doi.org/10.1007/s12195…

Honored to be part of this fantastic group of 2024 CMBE Young Innovators!  Thank you to CMBE journal and editors for the opportunity! Can't wait to share our exciting responsive biomaterials work at #BMES2024! Biomedical Engineering Society @CMBE OHSU Knight Cancer Institute OHSU School of Medicine

Erika Moore CMBE journal Keep Representing!

I am so grateful to be one of this year’s CMBE Young Investigator awardees and to be amongst this stellar group of rising stars! Looking forward to seeing TIME Lab’s paper out soon on macrophage mechanics, led by Alice Burchett.

Others have articulated what they think it takes to be a great PhD student, here is my version. 1. Smarts: curious, thirsty for knowledge. Able to find the joy in scientific discovery. 2. Work ethic: drive, self-motivation. Willing to put in the hours. 🧵1/2

3. Creativity: learn how things are done so you can challenge it. Willing to try something new (and fail). 4. Positive attitude: you have to believe your research will work. You have to want your research to work. The ability to stay positive and intentional when it doesn’t. 2/2
