BME is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2024! As such, our annual retreat was an even bigger event that normal. TORL had four undergrads present their research during the poster session.
Rachel was even awarded a BME Retreat Poster award
Obviously we had to take group photos with the human-sized BME letters.
In the second photo, we were told to pose for a funny photo and apparently several of this took to mean we should hide behind the letters.
Elizabeth presented her work in our lab at the summer Undergraduate Research Symposium. She did an amazing job!
Sam and Aakarsh recently each presented their work at the annual Abrams Scholars final presentations. We’re very proud of both of them and everything they’ve accomplished in the lab.
We had a whopping 5 undergrads present at the 2022 Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium! You can read about their research in the abstract book put out by the Office of Undergraduate Research, found here (this link will download a pdf. You can also find it here then scroll down to ABSTRACT BOOK. We’re so proud of all of them.
We had two undergrads present posters at the Spring OUR (Office of Undergraduate Research) symposium. Aasim presented the latest findings from his research with Zack on using gelatin in electrospinning. Chloe presented a poster highlighting her research with Jacob from this past year looking at the role of estrogen in fibroblasts. Great job guys!
Andre and Aasim did a great job showing off their hard work at the NCState OUR summer research symposium today. We’ve loved having them around the lab this summer!
Lauryn was recently awarded one of the inaugural McKay Orthopaedic Research Conference Grant to attend the virtual Orthopaedic Research Society (ORS) conference. We’re so honored to have such an exceptional undergrad in our lab!
Cam presented her work as part of the CMI (Comparative Medicine Institute)’s SIRI (Summer Interdisciplinary Research Initiative) program. As is the 2020 normal, the group photo is a zoom screenshot. Cam, Zack, and Matt are circled below (and sorry we’re very bad at drawing circles with a mouse).
Matt was recently recognized as one of the Biomedical Engineering Society’s (BMES) 2020 Rising Stars in the Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering (CMBE) Special Interest Group. He was recently recognized at the annual conference in Puerto Rico.

This year we had two of our amazing undergrad present at the Undergraduate Research Symposium. AJ presented on his work with Lewis focusing on the Myotendinous Junction and Joella presented on her work with Danielle examining meniscus changes during growth work.
Great job guys!
